The Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards, commonly shortened to the Ringo Awards, are prizes given for achievement in comic books.
They are named in honor of artist Mike Wieringo and they were founded by the Reisterstown, Maryland–based Cards, Comics, & Collectibles shop alongside the Ringo Awards Committee in 2017, their ceremony meant to succeed the Harvey Awards which left the Baltimore Comic-Con as its venue in 2016.
[1] The Ringo Awards are nominated by an open vote among comic-book professionals and fans.
The first Ringo Awards were presented at the Baltimore Comic-Con on September 23, 2017.
The 2020 awards were held October 24, 2020 at Baltimore Comic-Con Live, the Baltimore Comic-Con's virtual live-streaming event held during COVID-19.
