There will definitely be an Outstanding Canadian WebComics Creator category, the question that will be decided shortly is whether or not it will be added this year or in 2008. WebComics are, in many ways, a lot like self-published, non-distributed comics in that there are so many it is virtually impossible to identify them all and who is Canadian. If we launch it this year it will be a referred award - wherein a group of industry people have sent in their lists of what they feel are the best. The subsequent year for webcomics put online in 2007 we will likely be asking people to refer their links to the Joe Shuster Awards for consideration and judging - the same plan we will be putting forth for self-published, non distributed comics - that's another category that will definitely be added in 2008.
