The Washington Science Fiction Association [www.wsfa.org] has established a literary award to honor the work done by small presses in promoting and preserving science fiction. The award, now in its fifth year, is given annually for short fiction works (17,500 words or fewer) of imaginative literature (e.g., science fiction, fantasy, horror, speculative fiction or like literature) published by a small press. Stories may be nominated by SF authors and small press publishers. Details of the nomination process and contact information can be found at [www.wsfasmallpressaward.org].

Webbie note: Looks like anybody published on the front page is eligible for this one. You can self submit as well! :)
Here is the rational of why we qualify: ============
Award: Original short fiction works (17,500 words or fewer) of imaginative literature (e.g., science fiction, fantasy, horror, speculative fiction or like literature) published by a small press. Eligibility: Works published for the first time in the English language in the previous calendar year. Eligible venues: 1. Books: Stories published in a book by a small press. A small press is defined as a hard copy print or web publication house releasing from 3 to 25 titles in the year that the story is published. 2. Periodicals: Stories published in a periodical by a small press. Eligible paper periodicals are those with a circulation of fewer than 10,000 in the year that the story is published. Eligible web periodicals are those with fewer than 10,000 subscriptions in the year that the story is published. Periodicals must pay all authors in cash. If you are unsure about eligibility, contact the Award Administrator.
Submission Deadline: 1 May 2011.
