The Ledger Awards Announced for 2014

The Ledger Awards, established to acknowledge and promote excellence in comic arts and publishing in Australia, are being re-launched in Melbourne in April 2014. Inaugurated in 2005, they return after a five-year hiatus with a new structure and a new major sponsor: Supanova Pop Culture Expo Fully independent and run as a not-for-profit annual event, they are named after the pioneering Australian cartoonist Peter Ledger (1945 – 1994).

Gold, Silver and Bronze Ledgers will be presented for outstanding comics work published in the calendar year 1 January to 31 December 2013. Two Platinum Ledgers will also be awarded to acknowledge individuals whose contributions to comic art, publishing and community in Australia have helped shape the art form in a meaningful way.

Supanova Announces Ledger Awards

Supanova has announced it will be resurrecting the Ledger Awards which went into hiatus in 2007 because it became too big a project for its founder Gary Chaloner to organise. It will be launched in 2013 under Supanova's benevolent umbrella. You can read all about it here: "Supanova Proudly Announces the Australian Comic Book Industry Awards" (scroll half way down the page to read it).
