‘Cyclopedia Exotica,’ ‘The Magic Fish’ and more nominated for 2021 Harvey Awards

The winners will be announced during a virtual ceremony this fall.

The Harvey Awards have revealed their nominees for 2021 across the six categories they reintroduced in 2018, as chosen by a nominating committee of “diverse industry voices including creators, publishing professionals, retailers, educators and librarians.”
