The central goal of the B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Awards remains the same as always: The recognize and reward the comic arts in Qu\u00e9bec, which have historically not received the attention they deserve. With this in mind, particular attention has always been paid to the accessibility of books in the Qu\u00e9bec marketplace: All works nominated for a B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Award must be available to the Qu\u00e9bec public and easily accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the objectives of the B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Awards is to stimulate the interest of readers by way of an increased media presence for all the nominated creators. Since 2012, the Awards have been given at a ceremony presented during the annual Montreal Comic Arts Festival in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2019, a Year of Transition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019, Promo 9<sup>e <\/sup>Art was dissolved, and the management of the B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Awards was left to the Montreal Comic Arts Festival. A period of reflection followed, looking into the ongoing pertinence of the Awards, with the goal of updating the selection criteria. The overall mission of the B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Awards remains the same: To promote the comic arts, to highlight the efforts of local publishing houses and the entire community of Quebecois cartoonists, and to support and promote those artists who take the plunge into self-publishing. In addition to the trophies and prize money received, the winner of the B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Qu\u00e9bec Award is also offered the chance to create the poster art for the subsequent year, as well as an exposition of their work at the following MCAF. Additionally, the two winners of the B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Independent Awards\u2014Francophone and Anglophone\u2014are also invited to create promotional artwork for the following year\u2019s call for submissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/en\/bedelys-awards\/bedelys-awards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Awards<\/a> are currently separated into five distinct prizes: B\u00e9d\u00e9lys International, B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Youth, and B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Qu\u00e9bec (all presented since 1999), as well as the B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Independent Francophone (since 2008) and B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Independent Anglophone (since 2020). Some of these prizes have changed their names over the&nbsp; course of the year, including awards such as B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Gold, B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Discovery, and B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Tr\u00e9molo, to name a few.

By presenting separate awards for both French- and English-language works, the B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Independent Awards also serve to integrate Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s artistic communities, with the goal of encouraging an vigorous and healthy exchange between these linguistic groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Qu\u00e9bec<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fbdm-mcaf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/FBDM-BEDELYS_QUEBEC-1024x717.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25657\" width=\"325\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The B\u00e9d\u00e9lys Qu\u00e9bec Award rewards the best comic book published in Qu\u00e9bec. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award is accompanied by a prize of $1,000.
