The Manly Wade Wellman Award is a literary award voted on by fandom and presented annually by the North Carolina Speculative Fiction Foundation to recognize outstanding achievement in science fiction and fantasy novels written by North Carolina authors.[1]
History[edit]
The Manly Wade Wellman Award was created in December 2013 by the North Carolina Speculative Fiction Foundation. The award is voted on by the combined membership of most of the largest North Carolina science fiction and fantasy conventions, including IllogiCon (Raleigh NC), ConCarolinas (Charlotte, NC), ConTemporal (Chapel Hill, NC), and ConGregate (Winston-Salem, NC). The award is named after the long-time North Carolina author, Manly Wade Wellman, with the permission of his estate.[1][2]
While the award is usually given at ConGregate in July, during 2020 the award was presented virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic through the online convention ConTinual, which is run by many of the same organizers and authors of the regular in-person science fiction and fantasy conventions of North Carolina.[3] [4]
Eligibility[edit]
To be considered, manuscripts must be a novel, defined as a fictitious prose narrative of 25,000 words or more. The novel must have been written within the year time frame being considered and written by a North Carolina author where their primary residence was within the state for six months out of the twelve months preceding publication. Novels may be published by a traditional press or self-published and available through eBook, in print, and/or audio book format.[1]
Nomination and voting processes[edit]
A preliminary list of eligible novels is assembled by the Foundation and then publicized along with solicitation for additions and corrections. The voting members review the list and rank the options presented. Most of the voting is done electronically. The top five are chosen through the Condorcet method. The finalists are then announced at a NC convention, and the voting membership chooses the final winner which is announced at ConGregate in July.[1]
Winners[edit]
The list of the five finalists of each year can be found at North Carolina Speculative Fiction Foundation website.
