WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE FOR 'DAVID GEMMELL LEGEND AWARD FOR FANTASY!' The DGLA was presented for the very first time in 2009 for the best Fantasy novel of 2008. The winner was Andrzej Sapkowski's much loved 'Blood of Elves'

Here is a response from Mr Sapkowski on the news of his win!

"I am very happy and proud to be a winner in the contest for The David Gemmell Legend Award, the prize precious to me indeed, as I am a great admirer of the writings of the late David A. Gemmell. I would like to express my gratitude to all the readers who voted for my book. I would also like to thank and congratulate all the other fellow writers in the final poll. Finally, it is fantasy - our genre - that was the ultimate winner."

This year's winner (2010 for the Best Fantasy of 2009) was Graham McNeill's 'Empire' - a Black Library novel. Here's Graham's response to his win:

"David Gemmell was (and remains) a huge influence on me and my writing, and to have won an award that bears his name is one of the greatest
thrills of my career. His work, with its powerful themes of heroism, nobility
and the gritty ‘reality’ of fantastic fiction, was like nothing I’d read
before, and I strive to carry on the traditions he established in his books.
His powerful depictions of courage, honour and the unbending code of Druss,
have inspired me through the years, and, as the dedication in Heldenhammer
says, 'To DG, you taught me all I know'. Says it all really…"
