The categories include Book of the Year, Digital Book of the Year, Best Childrens/Young Adult Book, Best Adaptation from a Comic/Graphic Novel, Best Manga, and Best European Books.

Nominees were chosen by an invited slate of industry professionals. The winners will be chosen by the vote of industry professionals, who must apply to become voters. The awards will be presented at a ceremony to be held October 5 during New York Comic Con.,

The Harvey Awards were acquired by ReedPop, the organizer of New York Comic Con, in 2016 and moved from the Baltimore Comic Con to New York Comic Con.
