World Fantasy Award

World Fantasy Award myönnetään fantasian huipuille. Palkinnonsaajat valitsee raati, jonka kokoonpano vaihtelee vuosittain. Raati valitsee myös ehdokasjoukon, joskin World Fantasy Conventionin kävijät äänestävät listalle kaksi ehdokasta. Tämän vuoksi World Fantasy Awardin voittajissa nähdään sellaisia kirjoja, jotka eivät Nebulan ja Hugon yleisöäänestyksissä pärjäisi. Pitkänovellisarjassa ehdokkaaksi on päässyt muun muassa Leena Krohnin Tainaron.

World Fantasy Awardin näkökulmasta fantasia on melko laaja käsite, ja voittajien ja ehdokkaiden joukossa on esimerkiksi paljon kauhukirjallisuutta. Stephen Kingillä on esimerkiksi useita ehdokkuuksia. Täydelliset voittaja- ja ehdokaslistat löytää palkinnon kotisivuilta tai Wikipediasta. Wikipedian listaus on selkeämpi.
