Nominations opened at illogiCon in January ahead of a final voting round, with the award being presented at ConGregate in July. If you are a member of one of the member conventions and are not yet registered to vote, please submit a registration form as detailed on the nominations page and a secure ballot will be provided to you as soon as possible.
The award is named for long-time North Carolina author Manly Wade Wellman with the permission of his estate.
