Spectrum awards

[psocoptera]

Yes, I'm catching up on news about awards I vaguely follow! Here we have the Spectrum 27 awards. I care about the Spectrums partly because of ongoing annoyance about how the Hugos recognize art (to recap, the Hugos are so heavily the same people over and over, and I think awarding works rather than people would push back against that, and also I hate "fan artist" meaning only people who illustrate con brochures) and partly just because, hey, art! Here's a blog post where you can see the nominees; scroll down past the text list for the images. Here's the list of winners, or behind the cut.
