Entries for journalism awards are chosen by 65 editors, publishers, writers and educators (broken into juries of 5 persons) from material appearing in any US newspaper published daily, Sunday, or at least weekly during the calendar year, with nominations for the cartooning category being limited to a portfolio of 20 cartoons.

The administrator of the awards was Dave Olbrich, a Fantagraphics employee.
