Neo Awards
Neo magazine runs an annual awards to celebrate the best of East Asian entertainment in the UK. Winners are decided by a poll in which Neo readers are invited to vote. Voting for the Neo awards has taken place exclusively online from 2007 onwards. Winners are announced at the London MCM Expo and relevant companies are given a trophy.
In 2007, the awards were given out as follows: Best Anime Movie - Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa, Best Anime Distributor - ADV Films, Best Anime Series - Gungrave, Best Anime Character - Rock Lee (Naruto), Best Asian Movie - The Host, Best Actor - Park Sang-myeong (My Wife is a Gangster), Best Actress - Gong Li (Curse of the Golden Flower), Best Asian Film Distributor - Optimum, Best Manga - Death Note, Best Manga Character - L (Death Note), Best Manga Distributor - TOKYOPOP, Best Merchandiser - TokyoToys.
To be eligible, products must have been released or have had significant fan activity during the last 12 month period - although this does not run from January to December, but rather from September to September. This is so that the awards can be handed out at the October London MCM Expo.
