Comiket is not really a convention, it's sort of off to one side of the Venn diagram that encompasses SF conventions, Comicons, media conventions, Dragon*Con etc. Last one I was at in 2008 had a total attendance of 550,000 over three days but most attendees only went for one day (like me). 95% of Comiket is for "circles" (fan groups) to sell doujinshi (amateur manga usually pornographic in nature based around popular commercial mangas and anime series), there are some commercial booths for publishers, game companies and such and there is a cosplay (costume play) area and that's about it. No panels or discussions and definitely no awards ceremonies. Then again entry is free.
