First Set of Ringo Award Nominees Announced; Fewer Than 20% Women

Oddly, all of the remaining awards for Best Series, Best Story, Best Design etc. are credited to publishers, as though they didn’t need writers or artists, so I can’t as easily analyze those. The exceptions are Comic Strips and Webcomics.

They total 52 creators nominated. Of those, ten are women, or 19% of the nominees. Two categories, Best Inker and Best Letterer, have no women nominated.

If you are “anyone involved in and credited with creating comics professionally”, then you can now vote at the award website. You’ll have to get through a captcha and an email address validation first, though.
