The nominations for the 2024 Harvey Awards have been announced, and the number of categories has increased from six to seven, as the Best Children’s or Young Adult Book has been split into separate children’s and YA categories. The number of titles nominated is also up, with nine or more in most categories, making for a much longer list than in previous years.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony that will be livestreamed during New York Comic Con in October.
