[ysabetwordsmith]

I got this notice today regarding the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards:

Just a final call out for nominations for the 2009 Gaylactic Spectrum Awards. Any work originally published/released in calendar year 2008 in North America is eligible for consideration. The Gaylactic Spectrum Awards recognize outstanding works in speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror, etc) with significant positive gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender content. We recognize novels, works of short fiction, and works in other categories - with a cash prize presented to winners in the Best Novel and Best Short Fiction categories. There is no cost to nominate and we encourage fans, authors, editors and publishers to nominate any relevant works, including their own.

Our annual list of winners and short list honorees includes authors well known and new, publishers big and small, and works from across the speculative spectrum.

Nominations are open until April 15, 2009, and our judges wll begin reading and discussing all nominated works beginning shortly thereafter. Awards will be announced in October at Gaylaxicon 2009 in Minneapolis.
