The awards recognize works of speculative fiction by Africans, defined as “science fiction, fantasy, stories of magic and traditional belief, alternative histories, horror and strange stuff that might not fit in anywhere else.”[1] The Nommo Awards have four categories for best Novel, Novella, Short Story, and Graphic Novel.
