List of Lulu Award winners

The Lulu Awards were a group of literary awards, presented at Comic-Con International in San Diego, California, by the Friends of Lulu. The awards were intended to "recognize the people and projects that help open the eyes and minds to the amazing comic and cartooning work by and/or about women."[1] The awards were separated into five categories: Lulu of the Year, Kimberly Yale Award for Best New Talent, Volunteer of the Year Award, Women of Distinction Award, and the Women Cartoonists Hall of Fame.

Lulu of the Year

The Lulu of the Year honor went to creator(s), book(s), or other projects "whose work best exemplifies Friends of Lulu’s mission."[1]
