How to Recommend Works

The 2006 IHG Awards will be for works from calendar year 2005. The IHG Judges appreciate and encourage you to recommend works for nomination. Please read the Award Rules. Please provide the title of the work, date of publication, and publisher(s). If applicable, provide the name of the anthology or periodical in which the work was first published as well as word count.

You may recommend in all categories or just certain categories. More than one recommendation may be made for each category. The total numbers of recommendations are not important, this is NOT a popular vote. Getting your friends, fans, and family to all recommend your work won't help your chances of nomination.

The Judges and Administrator appreciate publishers, authors, artists, etc. sending them copies of works to be considered. As they are all reviewers/critics, they may already be on your standard list. If not, use this link -- *Contact Judges* -- for list of the judges and their contact info. You may also request their names and addresses via e-mail from info@horroraward.org

Nominations are not made for the Living Legend Award. Honorees are named by the judges. Public recommendations may, however, be made. To be considered for the Living Legend Award, individuals must have made a meritorious and notable contribution and/or has substantially influenced the field of Horror/Dark Fantasy.

Special Awards are given at the discretion of the judges and for reasons they cite. Again, nominations are never made for this honor, although the public may make suggestions.

Questions pertaining to eligibility and interpretations of the guidelines will be decided by the Awards Committee. Their ruling is final.
