The Chronic Rift has always prided itself for its celebration of the science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comic art genres with its news, reviews, interviews, and discussion.  We continue that celebration with our Roundtable Award ceremony.  This is a tradition from the days of the public access show that was relished in the same vein as a Hugo or Nebula as witnessed by author Terry Bisson.

We need your help in order for this to work.  Please take a moment to place your nominees for the best in each of the categories listed below.  Any released material in the calendar year 2009 is elegible.  You may comment here (you must be an active member of the website to comment) or if you wish to be anonymous, you can email it to john@chronicrift.com.

All votes must be received by January 30th, 2010 to be elegible.  The Roundtable Awards ceremony will take place in April.
