Like with most things this year , the 2020 Eisner Awards are a small different . Yes , it ’s still a solemnisation ofthe serious thing the comic Holy Writ industryhad to provide in the late twelvemonth . Yes , it ’s still a very various , exciting group of endowment . However , this year , due to the covid-19 pandemic , the nominees were decidedon quite differently .
“ The judgment operation was very challenging this year , ” Eisner Awards executive Jackie Estradasaid in a statement . “ Normally , the judge all assemble in San Diego for four days in a room filled with all the submitted comic strip and books and they are able to interact with each other in person . With the state in lockdown , they all had to last out in their respective home ( as far away as Maine , Pennsylvania , Kansas , and Kingston , Ontario ) , so [ they ] had to communicate via email , a societal media group , and Zoom . Packages of books went back and forth all over the country . as luck would have it , we were able to work on with the folks at comiXology and many of the publishing firm to have digital interlingual rendition of hundreds of submissions useable to the judges . ”
