Anthony Awards

We are extending the deadline to vote for your Anthony Award candidates until May 31, 2012 to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to vote. You can read the bylaws from the Bouchercon web site here.

Learn more about the nomination process below:

Starting February 28th and continuing until May 15th the current Local Organizing Committee shall solicit canidates for Anthony Award nominations from full-time registrants of its event and those of the immediately preceding event, including Guests of Honor. Those registering for day passes would not automatically receive a candidate ballot, although the current Local Organizing Committee could choose to include them. "Guest of" memberships, memberships in the name of corporations and memberships in the name of fictitious persons are not allowed candidate ballots. A person is allowed only one candidate ballot even if they are registered under their real name and one or more pen names, or are registered for both events.

"Candidate" shall be defined as: in the case of published work, should be relevant to the Crime Fiction/Mystery genre and published between January 1 and December 31 in the year immediately prior to the Bouchercon at which the Anthony Award will be given.
