We are proud to announce the longlists for the 2016 SUNBURST AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN CANADIAN LITERATURE OF THE FANTASTIC.

Toronto, Ontario (June 8, 2016): The Sunburst Award Committee is pleased to announce the 2016 longlist for the Sunburst Awards for Excellence in Canadian Literature of the Fantastic. This year’s nominees include a hearty mix of well-established authors and talented newcomers, as well as the official introduction of a new Sunburst Award category of Short Stories.

Toronto, Ontario (November 7, 2014) The Sunburst Award Committee announced today that they have moved into the digital age. Starting with the 2015 awards, they will accept e-book versions of submissions as well as print ones.

“It will help publishers to submit, especially smaller ones. Postage costs have increased dramatically over the last several years and print books have a cost of their own.” says Peter Halasz, one of the founders of the awards. “We also expect to reduce our own costs since we mail as many as 120 - 130 books annually to each of five jurors.”
