The award is for debut authors at any age, 18+: comics creators, cartoonists, or writers and artists who have not previously had a full-length graphic novel published. The First Graphic Novel Award is a biennial award run in partnership with The Cartoon Museum and publisher SelfMadeHero. Founded in 2012 by publisher Myriad, it was previously known as the Myriad First Graphic Novel Competition, and has helped to launch several comics creators on their path to publication. In 2023 the new award was held thanks to generous support from the Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) and The bks Agency, sponsors of the £500 prize for the winner. In 2025, the award  has been generously supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England."
