The successor in spirit to the Eagle awards, the National Comics Awards are the premier comic industry awards of Britain. They are relatively unique among modern comics awards in that they are something of a for-profit: comics-related businesses may donate money to the Comics Festival in order to have the business' name added to an award name and to have a representative of the business present the award at the ceremony. Additionally, voters used to have to pay to vote for the Best Comic Ever category, with all of those proceeds going to charity.
