Manifesto

There are already plenty of awards that celebrate outstanding efforts to protect the natural environment. But let’s face it, Mother Earth is losing and it's time the winners got their due. The Motherfucker Awards is a digital awards show that celebrates the most notable contributions to the destruction of our planet. Categories include Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and Spirit.

Famous comics represent the corporations that caused the most impressive environmental damage in the past year. We prompt the comics with basic facts about their “achievements” but they create their own acceptance speeches.
