Τα Harvey Awards, έχοντας πάρει το όνομά τους απο τον γνωστό συντάκτη και δημιουργό comics Harvey Kurtzman, τιμούν τους δημιουργούς comics σε όλους τους τομείς, το σχέδιο, την ιστορία, το coloring και οτιδήποτε σχετίζεται με τη δημιουργία, ενώ είναι τα μόνα βραβεία της βιομηχανίας που προτείνονται και επιλέγονται απο τους ίδιους τους επαγγελματίες των comics.

Η φετινή απονομή των βραβείων θα γίνει στο πλαίσιο του Baltimore Comic-Con, το βράδυ του Σαββάτου 3 Σεπτεμβίου 2016, ενώ η ψηφοφορία ολοκληρώνεται στις 8 Αυγούστου 2016.
