WSFA Small Press Awards Open

The Washington Science Fiction Association is now accepting nominations of works “published for the first time in the English language” in 2024 for its Small Press Award, given annually to an outstanding story of “imaginative literature” (17,500 words or fewer) published in the small press. The deadline for nominations is March 31, 2025 at 11:59pm ET.

Authors and small-press publishers are among those eligible to nominate, and need not be members of WSFA. Finalists are selected “by a committee of five WSFA members,” with the winner chosen by members of WSFA.

The winner will receive a trophy and $500, presented at Capclave, to be held September 19-21, 2025 in Rockville, MD.

Visit the WSFA website for details on eligibility rules, entry forms, and the nomination procedure.
