Mythopoeic Award Winners
The Mythopoeic Awards are presented annually by the Mythopoeic Society, a non-profit organization devoted to the study, discussion, and enjoyment of myth
and fantasy literature, especially the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis,
and Charles Williams, known as "The Inklings." The nominees and winners are
chosen by committees consisting of members of the Society, and are announced
at the annual Mythopoeic Conferences. Each award is a statuette of a seated
lion, intended to evoke Aslan from C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia.
The Mythopoeic Fantasy Awards honor current fantasy works "in the spirit of
the Inklings", in two categories, adult and children's literature. The
Mythopoeic Scholarship Awards honor scholarship about the Inklings and on the
genres of myth and fantasy studies.
The years listed are those the award was presented.
