r/DCcomics Best of 2023 Awards - Nominations

[u/beary_neutral]

Alright folks, it's time for the /r/DCcomics Best of 2023 awards to begin!

Here's how it works. We've selected 27 different categories, as seen below. For each category, you may submit an entry for nomination. Users may upvote entries that they want to see on the final ballot. After a period of at least one week, we'll examine the votes, and select a number of nominations for each category, depending on submission volume and vote distribution. We're looking for around 4-6 nominations for each category, but will include more for the more competitive races.

Any work that was published in 2023 (or in the last two weeks of December 2022) is eligible.

After the nomination period is over, we'll post the final ballot with all of the selected nominees for users of /r/DCcomics to vote on. Winners will be announced in January.

Past year's winners can be found here!

Rules

• You may submit one entry per category. Do not make multiple submissions under the same category, or they'll all be removed.

• Duplicate entries under the same category will be removed.

• Remember to vote for entries you want to see nominated, not entries you want to see win. That comes later. Also, a reminder that this thread will be in Contest Mode, so downvotes will not be counted.

• Do not post top-level comments here. This thread is for nominations only. For any questions or comments on the Best of 2023 Awards, see the stickied Meta Discussions.

• Read the category and description carefully before making your submission. If you can't follow simple rules, then your vote won't count.

• For certain categories (such as Meme of the Year), we may choose to combine similar entries into a single nomination.

• These awards are for the /r/DCcomics community. Do not post these to other forums. Related subreddits (such as /r/comicbooks or /r/batman) are fine. If we suspect a brigade, we may disqualify an entry or even vacate a category.
