context_page_description: The Clickburg Webcomic Awards, generally referred to as the Clickies, were a Dutch webcomics awards ceremony held four times between 2005 and 2010. Created to promote webcomics in the Netherlands and Belgium, the Clickies were first awarded in 2005 at the world's first webcomic convention, Clickburg. The awards were again bestowed in 2006, 2007, and 2010, each time in a slightly different format.
context_section_description: The Clickburg Webcomic Awards were first awarded on May 1, 2005, at Clickburg, the world's first webcomic exhibition. The Clickburg foundation was set up by René van Densen, in collaboration with Jeroen Mirck, and Stephan Fellinger. The event was held at the Tilburg Hall of Fame and featured musical performances, workshops, and lectures. Around 43 webcartoonists were able to present their webcomics on large screens and through video projectors, and Clickburg featured a lecture by Evert Geradts. None of the three Clickies winners were present in Tilburg during Clickburg, so the organization delivered the trophies by car.
  The second edition of the Clickies was awarded at the Stripdagen Haarlem in June 2006. Jury chairman Jeroen Mirck noted during the event that webcartoonists were not utilizing the specific opportunities of the medium enough, saying "too many online strips are no more than strips lost on a screen."
  The Clickburg Webcomic Awards were bestowed at Stripdagen Houten in 2007. The Clickburg foundation and its Web forum went quiet after this event. The Clickies returned for the fourth and final time in 2010, when they were again awarded at the Stripdagen Haarlem. This year, the jury consisted of comic shop owner Klaas Knol, journalist Natasja van Loon, cartoonist Jeroen Jager, writer Johan de Rooij, and new chairman Tom Hamoen. The 2010 Clickies were awarded in the Haarlem Vishal on June 5.
