Mythopoeic Awards
The Mythopoeic Awards for literature and literary studies are given by the Mythopoeic Society to authors of outstanding works in the fields of myth, fantasy, and the scholarly study of these areas.
From 1971 to 1991 there were two awards, annual but not always awarded before 1981, recognizing Fantasy and Scholarship (Inklings Studies). Dual awards in each category were established in 1992: Fantasy Awards for Adult Literature and Children's Literature; Scholarship Awards in Inklings Studies and Myth and Fantasy Studies.
In 2010 a Student Paper Award was introduced.
The 2013 finalists were announced in May and the awards were announced at the annual conference, July 12–15.
Mythopoeic Fantasy Awards
The Fantasy Awards recognize single-author fantasy that "best exemplifies “the spirit of the Inklings”". Dual awards for Adult and Children's Literature replaced a single award in 1992 and they have been combined once since then (1997). The Mythopoeic Society publishes a record of all finalists; from 1992 there are three to five books on each final ballot.
