Sidewise Award Judges Announced
The Sidewise Award for Alternate History has announced “a change in the judging panel beginning with the reading list for 2025 and 2026.”
Three judges will be added to the panel: Andrea Horbinski, Alana Phelan, and Arturo Serrano. Returning judges include Matt Mitrovich, Kurt Sidaway, and Steven H Silver. Judge Olav Rokne is stepping down from the role.
Sidewise Awards judges read submissions, including novels and short stories, throughout the year. They will determine the lists of finalists by the end of May, and the winners at the beginning of August using a ranked ballot. The winners for works published in 2025 are planned to be announced and presented at Worldcon 84 in Anaheim CA. The winners for works published in 2026 are planned to be announced and presented at Worldcon 85 in Montréal, Canada.
