We will honor comic book excellence by presenting the Glyph Comics Awards, which recognizes the best in comics made either by, for, or about African-descended people. While the recipients of these awards are not exclusively authors and artists of African descent, the Glyph Comics Awards does its best to honor and recognize those creators making great contributions to the African image in graphic novels, comic strips, and comic books. By doing so, we hope to encourage more diverse and high-quality work across the board and to inspire new creators to add their voices to the field.

Last year was my first year attending and I won the GLYPH Award for the "BEST COMIC STRIP or WEB COMIC" for my franchise THE ADIGUN OGUNSANWO™. I was in shock but enjoyed the accolades towards my work and the fact that it was given by an organization dedicated to promoting the hard work and creativity of Sci Fi and Fantasy creatives of the African diasporia.
