What is the IHG?
The International Horror Guild (originally the International Horror Critics Guild) was created in 1995 as a way to recognize the achievements of those who create in the field of Horror and Dark Fantasy.
The IHG Awards are determined by a jury of notable, knowledgeable horror/dark
fantasy critics and reviewers. Currently Edward Bryant, Stefan Dziemianowicz,
Ann Kennedy, and Hank Wagner are the judges for
the awards. Although a juried award, the IHG judges ask that the public
make recommendations through e-mail to help them in their search for the
most meritorious works. These recommendations are taken into consideration
when determining the nominees for the awards. The judges then determine
the winners from each category from the final ballot of nominees.
The International Horror Guild really consists of those who have a deep
and abiding affection for the genre and are willing to assert their opinions.
In other words, you are member of the
IHG if you wish to be.
The IHG Awards are announced annually during a special presentation at a convention
or other event. The awards for 2006 will be presented during the World Fantasy Convention. This year
World Fantasy 2007 will be held in Saratoga Springs, New York, November 1-4.
The World Horror Convention and Dragon*Con have hosted
previous IHG Awards presentations. The Guild is in no way officially affiliated
with WFC, WHC, or with Dragon*Con nor is it considered a sponsor
of any event. The IHG Awards are overseen by The Mirabundus Project, Inc., a nonprofit organization. Paula Guran
serves as Awards Administrator. For information on the International Horror
Guild Awards, contact Paula
