About the awards and nominees:

After four years of promoting Montreal's small press community, Expozine decided to recognize the best it has to offer with the first annual Expozine Alternative Press Awards! To reflect the wide diversity of printed matter represented last November at Expozine, Montreal's only annual small press, comic and zine fair, six prizes will be awarded (three in English and three in French), for the following categories:

Best book
Best comic
Best zine


Each of the more than 200 Expozine participants were asked to submit their best creation for consideration for the prizes. An extensive shortlist was selected and made public by the Expozine organizing committee. Following are the English finalists:
