Histo Awards: rules and conditions
The Histo Awards are a monthly recognition program created by Histo to encourage consistency, new debuts and the sharing of the comics published on the platform. Taking part in this program means full acceptance of these Rules and Conditions.
Frequency
These rules apply from the November 2026 round. The October 2026 round is awarded on November 1 under the previous rules (score from views, engagement and completed reads). The three awards keep their names and badges; what changes is how each one is chosen.
Eligible works
Every work that meets all of the following requirements takes part automatically:
- The author must have a verified account.
- It must be an original work created by the author.
- It must not be a tribute, fan work or based on third-party intellectual property.
- It must not have been created wholly or partly through significant use of artificial intelligence.
- It must be published and active on the platform.
- The author must not have active sanctions or have breached the Histo Terms and Conditions.
- A chapter counts for the month in which it is published (its publication date).
Works that fail any of these points are automatically excluded from that month.
How each award is chosen
