CALL FOR ENTRIES
Utah Speculative Fiction Awards 2004
The Utah Center for the Book and CONduit, Utah's Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention, call for entries for the 2004 Utah Speculative Fiction Award and the 2004 Utah Speculative Fiction Short Story Award.
The Utah Speculative Fiction Award honors a book judged to best represent the literary culture of the state in speculative fiction, which refers to science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, and horror. The competition is open to Utah authors and authors of books or stories with a Utah theme or setting. L.E. Modesitt won the 2002 award for the novel Archform: Beauty (Tor) and the 2003 Award went to Shannon Hale for The Goose Girl (Bloomsbury).
The deadline for entries is January 31, 2005. Award winners will be announced at the Utah Book Awards presentation on April 23, 2005 at the Salt Lake City Public Library. To be eligible, the book must be published between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004 as indicated by the copyright date. An eligible book must be published professionally and assigned an ISBN. Books must be bound (no looseleaf materials, books-on-tape or CDs).
Deadlines and requirements for the 2004 Utah Speculative Fiction Short Story Award are similar to those outlined above with one exception: rather than bound and assigned an ISBN, short stories must appear in a professional publication as defined by the Science Fiction Writer's of America (www.sfwa.org).
Entry forms for both awards are available from the Utah Center for the Book, www.slcpl.lib.ut.us and from CONduit, conduit.sfcon.org. For more information, or to have an entry form mailed or faxed to you, please contact Julie Bartel at The City Library, 801-322-8133 or
