Urhunden Prizes

Urhunden Prizes have been given out each year by the Svenska Seriefrämjandet (Swedish Comicbook Association) since 1987. There are currently three categories, Best Swedish (Domestic) Album of the Year (1987-2005), Best Foreign Album of the Year (1987-2005), and the "Unghunden" for best children's comics (1994-2005).
