The Thomas Nass prize for editing manga was awarded by Thomas Nast Foundation (the birthplace of Landau in Nast, Germany, Germany) and was awarded to Jeff MacNelly for the first time in 1978. This award is regularly awarded to German cartoonists and manga artists in North America. Winners will be awarded a 1,300 euro trip to Landau and a Thomas Nast medal. The US Advisory Committee includes Thomas Nast III, a descendant of Nast of Fort Worth, Texas. Other winners of the Thomas Nast award include Jim Borgman, Paul Shepp, Pat Olifant, David Levin, Jim Morin, Tony Oh and others.

Nast was born in a military camp in Landau, Germany (now Rhineland-Palatinate), as his father was Trombon in the Bavarian ninth orchestra. Nast is the last child of Apollonia (Abris) and Joseph Thomas Nast. He has an older sister, Andy; the other two brothers and sisters died before he was born. His father had a political belief that made him unrelated to the Bavarian government, so in 1846 Joseph Nast left Landau, who first took part in the French war, and the American ship. He sent his wife and children to New York, and when he joined the army in 1850, he joined them.

In 1956, Thomas Nast put a decorative board in the birthplace of Landau in Germany. It is written "To Thomas Nast's friendship and commemoration of the gift to the Germans." Nast will always remember as a powerful influence of the people of those days. He tried to end most of his life political corruption and to develop his own style and influenced millions of Americans views on politics.
