Anime is now consumed internationally at a large scale, and there are many
non-Japanese companies that make their living off of this audience.

Because of this, I've been wondering - **are there any anime or manga award
ceremonies (for the shows themselves OR for anime-related companies, Western
or not) that are based outside of Japan?**

* looking for examples rather than an exhaustive list

** anime-specific (I know there are general animation awards that can be won
by anime)

*** of a reasonable scale (i.e. a formal event)

Are there any anime/manga award ceremonies outside of Japan?


Well, after searching the web for a while, the largest one I was able to find
is the [American Anime
Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Anime_Awards), which was only
hosted once on the New York comic-con in 2007. Aside from this, I was unable
to find any full-scaled events. However, you might be able to find smaller
awards or contests in different countries, for example I came upon
[this](http://www.animecon.nl/program/events/contests/dutch-manga-awards)
contest which is a part of Dutch animecon.

> I know there are general animation awards that can be won by anime

I think this is the main reason why you will not find any full-scale awards
outside of Japan (Japan is a special case, obviously). However lot of major
film festivals will most likely have awards for "best animated film" (or
something similar), where anime entries will be able to compete - for example,
you will often see anime in the list of Academy Award for Best Animated
Feature nominees.
