Australian Shadows Award Open

Australia's top honour for horror fiction, the Australian Horror Writers Association's Australian Shadows Award, is now open for 2009 but with a major difference - this year, the Award has expanded from one to three categories. In previous years, short stories competed with novels and anthologies, but from 2009 onwards, awards will be issued for the best works in Short Fiction (short stories), Long Fiction (novellas, novels, and single-author collections), and Edited Publication (for editors of anthologies and horror fiction magazines). The Australian Shadows Award reading period is open from now until December 31. Works of horror and dark fantasy written or edited by Australians and first published in the 2009 calendar year are eligible. Authors, editors, or publishers seeking to enter eligible work must contact Award Director Shane Jiraiya Cummings ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
