Announcing the third annual Expozine Alternative Press Awards Gala!

Monday March 10, 2008, 9 p.m., free admission, Mainline Theatre, 3997 St-Laurent, Montreal.

Featuring entertainment by the Dan D Lyons, Simon Paquet and the evening’s MC, Jean Giscagne.

Come and celebrate the best of the nearly 300 small presses that took part in last fall’s Expozine small press, comic and zine fair!

Six prizes will be awarded (three in English and three in French), recognizing the best book, comic and zine sold at Expozine. Musical comedy troupe the Dan D Lyons and monologuist Simon Paquet will entertain with a bilingual show, and genial host Jean Giscagne will once again present the awards with flair.

The winners were chosen by an esteemed panel of judges out of the hundreds of publications submitted at Expozine in November. The gala is a rare chance for you to meet and mingle with the most talented up-and-comers of the local publishing scene, as well as purchase copies of the short-listed titles.

The short list of nominated publications will be revealed here shortly before the gala.

This event is sponsored by the Mainline Theatre, Libraire Drawn and Quarterly (211 Bernard O.) and libraire Port de Tête (262 Mont-Royal O.).
