I am hosting again for the premier award for fantasy characters.
The Silmaril Awards. This year there are ten categories including the return of last years newbie, Most Wayward Soul.
I am hosting the nominations and award for The Most Magnificent Dragon. I actually pretty nervious about this year. I heard that when you host the Dragon awards you actually have to host the nominees and I just don’t know if I have the room for them all.
What are the Silmaril Awards?
The Silmaril Awards are all about celebrating fantasy fiction. But whereas most awards go to authors or books, these awards go to the characters themselves!
Started in 2016, these awards are a four week online celebration of all that’s best in fantasy literature. There are several awards in various categories given every year.
The characters who receive them have to be from books in the fantasy genre.
Characters cannot receive the same award more than once. These are lifetime awards.
Tolkien and Narnian characters are not eligible to be nominated. Instead, they’ll be the ones presenting the awards.
Nominations are submitted in the comments of each of the host blogs.
Anyone can submit a nomination and you can second (and third and fourth, etc.) any number of nominations besides your own.
After the nomination period (lasting one week), the five characters receiving the most nominations will make it onto the ballot and you’ll have one week to vote. After the votes are tallied, the winners will be announced, one per day, over the final two weeks of the awards.
The dates for this year’s awards are:
Nominations week — Sept 2-6
Voting week — Sept 9-13
Awards ceremonies — Sept 16-27
