Submit Nominations Here
Hey everybody! A couple days ago, @Nineswords@ani.social reached out to me with an idea. Why don’t we try to set up some year-end awards for the communities we moderate? Well, a bit of back and forth, and today, I am glad to announce that we have opened nominations for the 2024 Lemmy Manga Awards. The nomination round will remain open until I post next week’s general discussion thread (usually late Sunday/early Monday US time). Note that there are partner awards for the anime and light novel communities as well.
Like normal, feel free to also use this thread just like you would a normal discussion thread.
Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).
When we’re talking published in 2024, do we mean the translation or the original publish date?
Good question. I am going to say the original publish date (either in Japanese or in English). So, if a volume was published a couple years ago, but was only posted to Mangadex recently, it would not be eligible. If, however, that same title was licensed and had an official English translation come out this year, then it would be eligible again. There can sometimes be years between the different publish dates, and different people access them differently, so I don’t want to prevent people that only read officially licensed translations feel like they can’t nominate anything or read any of the nominees. Also, I am limiting it to English for my own sake of trying to confirm things on my end when finalizing the nominees.
Cool, thanks
