Wikipedia
The Harvey Awards, named for writer-artist Harvey Kurtzman (1924-1993) and coordinated by the publisher Fantagraphics are given for achievement in comic books. The Harveys were created as part of a successor to the Kirby Awards which were discontinued after 1987.
The Harvey Awards are nominated by an open vote among comic-book professionals. The top five vote-getters in each category are chosen for a second vote from which the winners are chosen.
Since their inception, the awards have been presented at various fan conventions: the Chicago Comic-Con, the Dallas Fantasy Fair, Oakland, California's Wondercon, and the Pittsburgh Comicon. In 2004 and 2005, the presentation was held at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA) in New York City. In 2006 the awards' presentation was moved to Baltimore Comic-Con.
