SPECTRUM 13 WINS LOCUS AWARD0000-00-00
July 2007 Locus cover The Locus Awards are presented to winners of Locus Magazine's annual readers' poll, which was established initially to provide recommendations and suggestions so that voters for the Hugo Awards could make more informed decisions. The first Awards were presented in 1971 for works that had appeared in 1970 and since that time they have often drawn more voters than the Hugos and Nebulas combined. Spectrum has won the prestigious honor on nine previous occasions (for #s 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12). "It really is exciting and, at the same time, humbling to receive the Locus," says Cathy Fenner. "It really is the major award for the science fiction field: it's not political, it doesn't rely on electioneering, but pretty accurately reflects the feelings of readers. How can we not feel honored, for ourselves but also on behalf of all of the artists who participate in Spectrum and make it possible in the first place? It's very much a 'shared' award." |
