Awards Nomination Season is here!

Last week, I asked folks to share their award eligibility with me! I’ve rounded up all the eligibility information people chose to share and will update it periodically to include new information.

You can find my awards eligibility information here, as well as below. Notably, Stone Soup is eligible in fanzine and community categories, and I am eligible as fan editor of this publication.
