Locus Awards Weekend, June 24-27, 2020
The Locus Science Fiction Foundation has announced the winners in each category of the 2020 Locus Awards. Winners were announced June 27, 2020 at the virtual Locus Awards Weekend; Connie Willis MCed the awards ceremony, available online, with co-presenter Daryl Gregory. Additional weekend events included readings and panels with leading authors.
The events were in the form of a virtual ceremony instead of the physical banquet we normally hold in Seattle, canceled due to the global pandemic. We had recorded readings from Elizabeth Bear, Tobias S. Buckell, Fonda Lee, Rebecca Roanhorse, Fran Wilde, and more; panels; and a donut salon before the ceremony with Nancy Kress, Connie Willis, and Gary K. Wolfe (BYOD).
Panels will be live on Zoom.
Readings are recorded and may be watched any time after going live.
The awards ceremony is at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday.
