HWA Stoker Awards Banquet

Bram Stoker Awards Presentation at World Horror Convention 2007

The Horror Writers Association (HWA) is pleased to announce that the 20th Annual Presentation of the Bram Stoker Awards for excellence in horror and fantasy fiction will be presented in conjunction with the World Horror Convention 2007 on the evening of Saturday, March 31st.

Nominees for the 2007 HWA Bram Stoker Awards will be announced early in the new year. The Horror Writers Association also bestows a yearly Lifetime Achievement Award in acknowledgment of superior achievement over a career. Previous winners of the Lifetime Achievement Award include Stephen King and Anne Rice. Most recent Lifetime Achievement Award winner Peter Straub attended the 2006 Awards presentation in New York City, and is set to be one of the many horror celebrities also attending the 2007 event.

Only members of the HWA can nominate and vote on the Bram Stoker Awards. The annual WHC Grand Master Award will also be presented at the Awards Banquet of the Saturday evening, and voting is open to anyone who is a registered member of the 2007 convention.

The Bram Stoker Awards presentation is expected to be one of the highlights of the convention, and will include past Stoker Award winners as award presenters. Tickets for the awards banquet are limited to just 240 places and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. They will be available to anyone who wants to attend the banquet. However, please note that anybody who only wants to attend the banquet, and is not a registered member of World Horror Convention 2007, will not be allowed into any other convention events without a full membership.
