Darrell Awards
The Darrell Awards are American literary awards intended to promote literacy in the United States Mid-South by recognizing the best published Mid-South regional science fiction, fantasy, and horror. The awards consider a work Mid-South regional if the author lives in the Mid-South or if the work prominently features the Mid-South. The awards are named after Darrell C. Richardson, founding member of Memphis Science Fiction Association (MSFA). Nominations are open until the 1st of each February. The Darrell Awards Jury selects the winners, with the winners announced at MidSouthCon annually.
