Here is linked the official list of the Reuben Award winner and Divisional winners from the National Cartoonists Society.
(The meeting was this week and the announcement is dated yesterday 24 August 2024, but the awards are for 2023 publications and styled as “2023 Cartoonist of the Year” and similarly.)
An informative and nicely formatted list and display of examples, for nominees and winners, is at Daily Cartoonist.
Readers of CIDU will probably be familiar with work of —
Hilary B. Price, 2023 NCS Cartoonist of the Year (“Reuben Award”)
and Reuben Award nominees Darrin Bell, Will Henry, Dana Simpson, Daniel Clowes, and Mark Tatulli
Nick Galifianakis, winner for Magazine/Newspaper Illustration
Tauhid Bondia, winner for Newspaper Comic Strips, and nominees Hector Cantu & Carlos Castellanos (also split link, sorry) and Liniers
Wayno, winner for Newspaper Panels (plus link for WaynoVision), and nominees Nick Galifianakis and Dave Blazek
Comics I Don't Understand 
The examples shown at the Daily Cartoonist page were those submitted by the nominees. Wayno discussed in a blog posting his process of selecting this one to submit, which included getting suggestions from readers.
I see Darren Bell (Candorville) was nominated for graphic novel, although Sarah Bollinger won. I read Bell’s autobiographical graphic novel (The Talk) and would recommend it highly. It’s not funny, though.
It would be nice if you could see the nominees. The panels are small and fuzzy.
Lord F, I quite agree. I thought it might be better at the NCS site, but it was the same graphics when I located the nominees on the pre-convention pages — https://app.glueup.com/event/78th-annual-ncs-conference-and-reuben-awards-106689/
Reviewing the names of the winners (and nominees) listed here, not a single one is the artist for whom I would have voted.
@Kilby, do you mean your choice at large would be other than the three nominated, or that you would choose one of the two nominees over the winner? I see your guy Liniers nominated in one of the categories…
@ Dana – Just picking one person out of the existing nominees is hard enough, I would never dream of proposing a “write-in” candidate to supplant any winner. That said, I would have preferred Liniers over Bondia, and Galifianakis over Wayno (except that Nick G. already won the Magazine Illustration award), but in terms of sheer brilliance, my primary vote would have been for Will Henry instead of Hilary Price (who may have benefitted a little from the “longevity effect” – in which case Henry may have to wait a little longer, because Mark Tatulli is also overdue for a Reuben).
P.S. Everyone has their own favorites, those are just mine.
All this comics awards talk is really putting me in the mood for a sandwich of corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on rye, with 1000-island dressing.
