The PulpFest Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that fourteen individuals have been nominated by their peers for the 2014 Munsey Award. In the interest of manageability, the final nominee list has been pared down to the eight individuals who received the most nominations. Congratulations to all fourteen nominees for this prestigious award, presented annually at PulpFest.
The following nominees will be forwarded to a committee made up of all the living Lamont, Munsey, and Rusty Award winners who will select the person to receive the 2014 Munsey: Brian Earl Brown, Randy Cox, Stephen Haffner, William Lampkin, Steve Miller, Laurie Powers, George Vanderburgh, and Dan Zimmer.
Others nominated for this year’s award include William G. Contento, Chris Kalb, Richard Meli, Phil Stephensen-Payne, Shelby Vick, and Howard Wright.
Additionally, one person has been nominated for the elite Rusty Hevelin Service Award. His name is J. Barry Traylor.
The recipient of the 2014 Munsey Award and if awarded, the 2014 Rusty Award, will be announced on August 9th as part of the Saturday evening programming, open to all PulpFest 2014 registrants. A limited edition print (pictured above) designed by artist and pulp enthusiast David Saunders, serves as both the Munsey and the Rusty Award.
