Comic book award
The comic book award is a German comic book award launched in 2014 by the Berthold Leibinger Foundation and awarded annually since 2015 . The prize is awarded “for an excellent, unpublished, German-language comic whose completion is foreseeable”. Originally, “literary comics” were to be specifically promoted, but this addition has since been dropped. The jury for the comic book prize consists of eight personalities from literary and cultural life.
Until 2018, the prize for the winner was endowed with 15,000 euros; since 2019 it has been endowed with 20,000 euros. In addition to the winners, nine finalist works will be selected, each of which will be awarded € 2,000 (as of 2019; until 2018 € 1,000 each).
