[UPDATE] The Grand Prix went to Bill Watterson (more info here, in French).
Previously Moore declared: "I’ve decided not to accept any more awards, don’t be mad at me. I’d rather they were given to less conventional people. I don’t go to conventions any more, I don’t accept awards any more. I can understand and appreciate the feelings of those who choose me, but I only want to take responsability for what I have decided to take on, and not the expectations of others."(the complete article here)
