Locus Award

The Locus Awards are an annual set of literary awards presented by Locus Magazine, which is a monthly magazine founded in 1968 and specializes in coverage of science fiction, fantasy, and horror literature. The awards are voted on by readers and aim to honor the best science fiction and fantasy works of the previous year, including novels, novellas, novelettes, and short stories, as well as non-fiction works and art. The awards have been presented every year since 1971 and are highly regarded within the science fiction and fantasy community.
