Dwarf Stars Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dwarf Stars Award is a poetry award of the Science Fiction Poetry Association, created in 2006. It awards the best horror, fantasy, and science fiction short poetry (1-10 lines) published in the previous year, including scifaiku, tanka, cinquains and other forms. Approximately 30-40 poems are nominated each year. It publishes the nominees in an anthology and the winners are voted on by SFPA members. The winning poem is published in the Nebula Award anthology, along with Rhysling Award-winning poems.
