The nominees have been announced for the annual Ignyte Awards, which “celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of the current and future landscapes of science fiction, fantasy and horror by recognizing incredible feats in storytelling and outstanding efforts toward inclusivity of the genre.”

Previous winners in that category include Where Black Stars Rise by Marie Enger and Nadia Shammas, Nubia: Real One by L. L. McKinney and Robyn Smith, and These Savage Shores by Ram V, Sumit Kumar, Vitorio Astone, Aditya Bidikar and Tim Daniel.
The awards are sponsored by FIYAH Literary Magazine, which focuses on Black speculative fiction, and the winners are typically announced in conjunction with FIYAHCON.
