Gaylactic Spectrum Award winners and nominees for best other work
Encyclopedia
The Gaylactic Spectrum Awards
are given to works of science fiction
, fantasy
and horror
which explore LGBT
(lesbian
, gay
, bisexual or transgender
) topics in a positive way. They were founded in 1998, first presented by the Gaylactic Network
in 1999, and in 2002 they were given their own organization, the Gaylactic Spectrum Awards Foundation.
Awards are given in categories for novels, short fiction and best other work, although in some years the award for short fiction has not been presented due to lack of sufficient nominees or no nominee of high enough quality. Other categories have also been added and removed in intervening years, and works produced before the inception of the awards are eligible to be inducted into the "Hall of Fame". Each award consists of an etched image on lucite on a stand, using a spiral galaxy in a triangle logo, based on the logo of the Gaylactic Network
. The award winner's name, work title, award year and award category are etched on a small plaque on the base or on the plexiglass itself. No cash award is associated with the other work award, and the cost of the awards is paid for through individual donations and fundraising events.
The other works category is open to submissions of works in any non-novel, non-short-fiction medium released during the prior calendar year in North America that includes "significant positive GLBT content". This includes: comic books, graphic novels, movies, television episodes, multimedia, anthologies, story collections, gaming products, artwork, music. The time-frame of eligibility is based on copyright date for first printing for written works, cover date for magazines and comic books, release date for films, and the first air date for television. The long list of nominees is reduced to a short list of finalists, and the results are generally announced and presented at Gaylaxicon
, although they have also been presented at Worldcon
in the past. This article lists all the "Best short fiction" award nominees and winners, and short fiction hall of fame inductees.
