Spoiler: Summary from MangaUpdates show

On his first day of transferring to a new high school, a loner named Mori Buntarou, is cajoled by a classmate into climbing the school building. Despite knowing that one misstep could send him spiraling to his death, he moves forward, and upon finally reaching the top, Mori experiences a sense of fulfillment. That feeling, which seems to be telling him, "You're alive!" gives birth to an adrenaline for rock-climbing.

from Kokou no Hito for best artistic piece.

This category was really hard for me to choose. I knew I wanted to nominate a page from Kokou no Hito, but there are so many beautiful pieces of art to choose from. I finally settled on this page. Notice the detail in the clothing. The wrinkles. The glare off their glasses. It may not be Kokou no Hito's best art, but it is more than worthy for nomination.

from Hunter X Hunter

It's intense. Most intense that it would be needed and even without the details and the weird line Togashi has is still incredible how it express all the feelings of that particular character. The pose picked for both, every panel and its significance. It's one of the most coolest panels I've ever seen.

This sounds more like nomination for Best Artwork, I suggest you to support Bleach there.
Here, you could show us your favorite panel/page/doublespreed/cover/color page/4koma, something that precisely just left you with your mouth open.
There are lots in Bleach, I know, even I have hard time deciding ;D *wink wink*
