Since I do not speak Spanish, it is possible I have mistranslated the award categories. Here are their original forms.

Mejor Historia Larga (Best Long Story), a.k.a. Mejor Historieta Larga (Best Long Comic)
Mejor Historia Corta (Best Short Story), a.k.a. Mejor Historieta Corta (Best Short Comic)
Mejor Guión (Best Script)
Mejor Dibujo (Best Drawing)
Mejor Portada (Best Cover) (added in 1989)
Mejor Editorial (Best Publisher) (added in 1997; awarded every 5-10 years)
Haxtur al Humor (Haxtur for Humor) (added in 2000)

Finalista más Votado (Finalist with the Most Votes) (elegido por el publico asistente entre los nominados a los premios), a.k.a. Audience Choice Award (Added in 1990)
Premio Especial John Buscema (John Buscema Special Award) (Dedicado a aquellos que han realizado extraordinarias contribuciones al medio y por su aportación al reconocimiento del mismo como arte) (added in 2002, apparently awarded every other year)

I have also attempted to provide the original English titles for material originally published in English, or better known to Americans by an English title. When I am not sure of the English form, I have surrounded the English title with question marks. If I have misrepresented one of these titles, please let me know.
