This is the hub/page for all the Nominees for the 2011/12 David Gemmell LEGEND Award.

We will be listing and linking to the Nominees as the information comes in from the various publishers worldwide...

The Legend Award:

The Legend Award is the highlight of the nights events at our Award Ceremony where the winner of the book voted best release of the year is presented with a unique, scale model of Snaga (the legendary axe of Druss the Legend) from Raven Armoury. The blades of the axe are laser-etched with the winner's name & novel.

Readers vote for their favourite novel from the longlist nominated by publishers and the results of the first round of voting will be revealed at Easter 2012 on the website.

The Shortlist will then be open for voting until the end of March and the winner will be hailed the new champion of fantasy at our ceremony on June 15th 2012.
