2009 Parsec Award Winners

Thanks to all who participated in the 2009 Parsec Awards. This not only marked our fifth year of awarding excellence in speculative fiction, but also brought in the most nominations and submissions of any year. We look forward to an even bigger and better Parsec Awards in 2010, with more amazing work to be recognized. In closing for this year, the Parsec Awards would like to congratulate all the nominees, and of course all the winners.


Website Buttons

Every year we get asked for website buttons for people to proudly show their participation in the Parsecs. You'll find ones for Nominees and Finalists, but no button for Winners until after Dragon*Con. Thanks for your support of the Parsec Awards.
