Three British Fantasy Award nominations for Rebellion

Rebellion has been nominated in three categories in the 2020 British Fantasy Awards.

As well as being nominated for Best Independent Press, Rebellion’s flagship comic book, the legendary weekly anthology 2000 AD, has been nominated for Best Comic/Graphic Novel and its fiction imprint Solaris has received a nomination for Best Anthology for New Suns: Original Speculative Fiction for People of Color.

The British Fantasy Awards are awarded every year by the British Fantasy Society (BFS). The membership of the BFS votes to determine the shortlists of the awards, with the winners decided by juries selected from leading members of the SFF community.

Judging of the shortlists is now underway, with an announcement of the winners expected in due course.
