<p>Well, after searching the web for a while, the largest one I was able to find is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Anime_Awards" rel="nofollow">American Anime Awards</a>, 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 <a href="http://www.animecon.nl/program/events/contests/dutch-manga-awards" rel="nofollow">this</a> contest which is a part of Dutch animecon.</p>

<p>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.</p>

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

<p>Because of this, I've been wondering - <strong>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?</strong></p>

<p>*** of a reasonable scale (i.e. a formal event)</p>

Seeing as Korea also makes anime, it seems like there would be.
