Ignyte Awards: objavljeni su ovogodišnji finalisti!

Na FIYAHCON-u su prošle godine u listopadu proglašeni prvi dobitnici Ignyte nagrada, koje je FIYAH oformio za “proslavu živosti i raznolikosti sadašnjeg i budućeg ‘krajolika’ znanstvene fantastike, fantastike i horora.” Sada su pak poznati finalisti za ovu godinu koje je popratila sljedeća izjava:

“Odbor smatra da ovi tvorci, kreacije, entiteti i perspektive od 2020. predstavljaju najsjajnija svjetla u budućnosti spekulativne fikcije. Savjetujemo vam da na ovom popisu potražite nominirane koji vam nisu poznati, popratite njihova djela fikcije ili djelovanja društva i da iskoristite ta iskustva za davanje svog glasa.”
