From 26 to 29 january, the 44th Festival International de la Bande Dessinée will take place in Angoulême. Each year, an artist is awarded the Grand Prix. Since a few years, comic artists (everyone whose work is published in french) themselves can vote for their favourite colleague. This year, the election is in two rounds, and the results of the first round have been presented: three comic makers can still ‘win’ the Grand Prix. The three are Manu Larcenet (France), Chris Ware (USA) and… Cosey (Switzerland).
The second election round will be held from 18 to 22 january, and the final results will be announced on 25 january at 18:00 o’clock, during the opening ceremony of the Festival.
