AFTER two years of nomadic existence, the world’s most popular comicbook fan awards have found a new home.
 
This October the Eagle Awards will take up residency at London’s hugely popular MCM Expo at Excel, where the 2010 awards will be announced.

As of 2011 and going forward, the awards will become part of London MCM Expo's May event.
 
While details are still to be finalised Eagles administrator Cassandra Conroy announced, “I’m really pleased to have inked the deal with MCM's Paul Miley and Brian Cooney, considering that the London MCM Expo is viewed by fans and industry alike as London's Comic Con the nearest that the UK has to San Diego!"

”It’s been frustrating to have been homeless for the past couple of years and this new arrangement provides the Eagles with long-term stability. It also links us into a partnership with people who are as enthusiastic as I am to make them the industry’s premiere awards,” she added.
 
For his part, MCM Expo's Paul Miley said, “We are very happy to now be the new home to the Eagle Awards which we consider to be a great British institution and an important part of comic fandom recognised the world over. I am looking forward to working with Cassandra and the Eagle's to help take the awards to another level.

”London MCM Expo has a tremendous following from both comic fans and the public as a whole and is supported by many artists and writers which has helped the Comic Village section of the show to grow show on show,” added Miley. “We are likened to San Diego Comic Con in the US all the time by fans and industry pundits which we admit is a great accolade, may be not yet in size but most definitely in stature so bringing the Eagles to Expo helps to cement our position as London's Comic Con the Eagles are our Eisners.”

As promised in the Eagles panel held today, the voting form is now open for voting. To reach it, click on Voting from our main menu or click here.

The Eagle Awards nominations process will finish on May 9th. Only a couple of days left to nominate, so make sure you get your nomination in.

Please read this before emailing.

1. If my entry is in a drop down list does that mean I'm an Eagle Nominee?

No, it means someone has vote for you to be one. Only the 5 most popular will go through to the final vote.

2. Is this the final vote?

No, this is the nominations process. The final vote will begin in a month or so.

3. I voted half an hour ago and my nominations have not appeared in the lists? Why?

Each list item must be checked for profanity, advertising and so on... This process must be done manually and the nomination must each be checked before it is added. This takes time to do and we've had several hundred to go through.

4. It says my nomination is verified but they haven't appeared in the list?

Each nomination is verified against an email address to prevent fraud, vote rigging and cheating. There is still a chance that a problematic entry could get through so each individual entry is checked before it is added to list.

5. Why isn't [insert comic/creator/company/website here] in the lists?

Either no-one has put it forward for nomination, or we haven't been able to check it yet.

The nominations stage of the Eagle Awards has begun. Go to our nominations page and nominate your favorites for awards.

The nominations process will take roughly a month and then there will be a vote on the 5 most popular nominees. Please note: This is not the final vote!

Please ensure you only nominate for comics published in 2009.

The Eagle Awards have been cancelled for the 2008 vote (to be held in 2009). Failure to acquire a venue for the Eagles due to the scaling back of the Bristol Comics Expo coupled with a lack of nominations which made it difficult to provide fair choices for voting have led to the cancellation.

The Eagles will return in 2010 with a new round of nominations and a re-designed website.

The winners have been announced for the 2007 Eagle Awards (held in 2008). They are:
