Since their inauguration in 2020, the annual Ignyte Awards—which are presented by FIYAH Literary Magazine—have recognized "the vibrancy and diversity of the current and future landscapes of science fiction, fantasy, and horror."
The Ignyte Awards recognize works of fiction as well as critics, artists, and other members of the speculative fiction community. This year's winners were announced Saturday, September 17th at a virtual ceremony hosted by Brent Lambert, and will receive trophies featuring art by Grace P. Fong.
