Registration is now open for the Excelsior Award, which is the only nationwide book award for graphic novels and manga. There are now four different shortlists of five books each, with a greater focus on specific age suitability and affordability. The overall goal of the award is to encourage reading for pleasure and to raise the profile of graphic novels and manga.
