Premiile World Fantasy 2020

Premiile World Fantasy (World Fantasy Awards) sunt premii anuale, internaționale, acordate autorilor și artiștilor care au demonstrat realizări excepționale în domeniul fanteziei. Începând cu anul 1975, când au fost decernate pentru prima oară, acestea au fost înmânate la World Fantasy Convention.

Creat la mijlocul anilor 70, World Fantasy Awards este varianta pentru genul Fantasy a premiilor Hugo și Nebula. Premiul se acordă de către World Fantasy Convention în fiecare an, pentru aparițiile din anul precedent. Categoriile în care se acorda premiul: Novel, novella, short fiction, and artist; plus categories for Anthology and Collection, plus doua premii speciale, profesional și neprofesional, pentru realizările personale.

Premiile sunt considerate printre cele mai prestigioase în genul ficțiune speculativă. Ele pot fi acordate pentru orice lucrare care se încadrează în domeniul fanteziei, deși unele produse media sunt limitate la anumite categorii.

Câștigătorii sunt aleși de un grup de judecători, care diferă în fiecare an. Judecătorii care au prezidat premiile din 2010 sunt Greg Ketter, Kelly Link, Jim Minz, Jürgen Snoeren și Gary K. Wolfe.
