The award ceremony for the First Edition of the ‘’Magna Grecia Comics‘’ National Graphic Novel Prize will be held on 16 November 2024 at 5 p.m. at the headquarters of the Lega Navale of Crotone, Via Molo Sanità, 2. The event represents a moment dedicated to the celebration of the culture of comics and graphic novels, aimed at rewarding works that contribute to enhancing this art form.

During the evening, prizes will be awarded to the three winning titles:

Fabiana Fiengo, Best Emerging Cartoonist 2024, will also be present and will hand over an original print dedicated to Rino Gaetano to the Lega Navale Presidency, which will be exhibited next to the singer-songwriter's original ukulele.

This event is aimed not only at recognising deserving works, but also at strengthening the collaboration between organisations working to promote and spread the culture of comics in Italy.
