International Horror Guild Award
Template:Short description The International Horror Guild Award (also known as the IHG Award) was an accolade recognizing excellence in the field of horror/dark fantasy, presented by the International Horror Guild (IHG) from 1995 to 2008.[1][2]
History
The International Horror Guild Award ran for 14 years starting in 1995 and was created to recognize the achievements of creators in the fields of horror and dark fantasy.[2] Seen as supplementing other similar honors such as the Bram Stoker and World Fantasy Awards, the IHG Awards were run in their final years by editor Paula Guran. Finalists and winners were picked by juries of critics and reviewers, although initial recommendations were accepted from the general public.[2] Judges for the awards included Edward Bryant, Ann VanderMeer, Stefan Dziemianowicz, William Sheehan, Fiona Webster and Hank Wagner.[2] The annual awards were usually announced during a special presentation at a convention or other event, and IHG Award presentations have been held at the World Fantasy Convention, the World Horror Convention and Dragon*Con.[1]
Originally in the form of a "winged dog gargoyle" figure on a base, in 2002 the IHG Award was redesigned as a black, tombstone-shaped and free-standing plaque. The Living Legend Award had the same design, but in clear acrylic.[3]
