Prêmio Al Rio
Prêmio Al Rio (Al Rio Award) was a Brazilian award to honor Brazilian comic book artists with prominence in the national and international comics industry. The name was a tribute to the cartoonist of the same name. The laureate artists received trophies of revelation and of regional, national and international prominence. The award was associated with GeekExpo, then the main geek event in Ceará, whose first edition took place in 2015. Trophies for Al Rio winners were handed out during the event.
