Voting for Legend Award now open
Voting is now open for the David Gemmell Legend Award for Fantasy, where you can choose from a slew of titles from all across the board. Check out the voting page here.
The DGLA was presented for the first time last year, 2009, for the Best Fantasy novel of 2008, and was awarded to Andrzej Sapkowski’s book Blood of Elves. He had this to say;
“I am very happy and proud to be a winner in the contest for The David Gemmell Legend Award, the prize precious to me indeed, as I am a great admirer of the writings of the late David A. Gemmell. I would like to express my gratitude to all the readers who voted for my book. I would also like to thank and congratulate all the other fellow writers in the final poll. Finally, it is fantasy – our genre – that was the ultimate winner.”
The award was established in 2008 with the intention to “restore fantasy to its proper place in the literary pantheon.”
