World Fantasy Awards
science fiction awards database
Created in the mid-1970s, the World Fantasy Awards, associated with the annual World Fantasy Conventions, were established as a fantasy counterpart to the SF-oriented Hugo and Nebula Awards. They differ from those awards in significant ways, primarily in that winners are determined by judges — though two places in each category on the final ballot are determined by votes from convention members.
Scope
Fantasy novels, short fiction, anthologies and collection, artist, and special awards for professionals and non-professionals for achievements not tied to specific works in other categories.
