The Dragon Awards are a set of literary and media awards voted on by fandom and presented annually since 2016 by Dragon Con for excellence in various categories of science fiction, fantasy, and horror novels, movies, television, and games.

History[edit]

The Dragon Awards were first presented in 2016,[1][2] created on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Dragon Con to "recognize excellence in all things Science Fiction and Fantasy."[3][4] In 2018, 11,000 voters cast a ballot.[5] They are given out annually at Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia.

The finalist shortlist for the first Dragon Awards was announced on August 11, 2016,[6] and the winners were announced on September 4 that year.[7]


Nomination and voting processes[edit]

The nominations and votes are collected electronically. Participation is available to everyone, requiring only an e-mail address, but no membership or other fees, to vote.[8]

The award process consists of two steps:

  • a nomination step where each voter nominates one work of choice in each category. The nominations are "gathered and reviewed to create a final ballot."[9]
  • a voting step where the finalists selected from the nominated works are voted on by each voter.
