London, April 6, 2008 – Earlier this year thousands upon thousands of comics fans from over 100 countries around the world nominated their 2007 favourites in an exciting contest that led to six nominees making it on to the voting form in a handful of categories. With the results finally collated, counted and ratified in each of the 30 categories, voting is now open for the 2007 Eagle Awards. To vote for your candidates, simply log on to http://www.eagleawards.co.uk/vote.asp

 

 

Polls close at midnight (BST) Sunday, April 27, 2008.

 

 

The winners are to be announced at the Bristol International Comic Expo on Saturday, May 10, 2008. The awards ceremony, the highlight of Britain’s premiere comics’ event, will be held at Bristol’s Ramada Plaza Hotel where the ceremony is to be hosted by British TV and sitcom personality Fraser Ayres, best known as a regular in The Smoking Room and Thieves like Us. Assisting him will be Eagle Awards regular Cassandra Conroy, daughter of awards founder, Mike Conroy.

 

 

The presentation is to be preceded by the traditional gala dinner. With demand for tickets always high, early booking is highly recommended.
