Deron Generally
Deron GenerallyCelebrating its tenth year, Dragon Con’s Dragon Awards, the only fan’s choice awards program to recognize the very best in science fiction and fantasy literature, comics, gaming, and filmed entertainment, has published its 2025 ballot.
Winners of the Dragon Awards are selected by fans – not just Dragon Con members or convention attendees – and voting is free. View the ballot here.
“We started the Dragon Awards a decade ago to give the fans a voice in what truly deserved recognition in sci-fi and fantasy across all the things we love – books, comics, television, games and movies,” said Dragon Con co-chair David Cody. “What started as an important idea is now a mainstay in the genre. Ten years on, the Dragon Awards continue to celebrate the creativity and passion that fuel our fandom.”
More than 7,000 fans cast ballots for Dragon Award winners in 2024, selected from among 67 works in 11 categories covering the full range of fiction, comics, television, movies, video gaming, and tabletop gaming.
All voting is done electronically, via a ballot emailed to each confirmed voter. To vote, fans must first register on the Dragon Awards website: Register Here. Ballots are then emailed in batches every few days through August.
Fans have until Friday, Aug. 30 at 11:59 p.m., eastern, to register. Voting ends 24-hours later on Saturday, Aug. 31 at 11:59 p.m., also eastern.
Winners will be announced on Sunday, Aug. 31 at Dragon Con in downtown Atlanta. The annual Labor Day convention is scheduled this year from Aug. 28 to Sept. 1.
The ballot was selected in an open nomination process, using the dedicated Dragon Awards website. Fans were invited to nominate one (and only one) of their favorite properties in any or all of the eleven award categories. Nominations ran from November 2024 until July 19, 2025. The best and most popular of the nominated properties were elevated to the ballot.
