The year is drawing to a close, and we can't help but get wistful. Our 25th year in print\u2014and what a year it's been! We had two nominees in the inaugural Best Poem Hugo, and one of them<\/a> won. We had stories and poems nominated for the Ignyte, Rhysling, and Hugo awards. We raised a historic amount during our 25th Fund Drive, getting us ready for another spectacular year of stories, poems, reviews, essays, podcasts, and art, with some fantastic special issues in the works as well. And to top it all off, our 25th anniversary podcast, Strange Horizons at 25<\/em><\/a>, was on the longlist for the Best Fancast Hugo Award.<\/p>\n

So to everyone who reads us, or listens to the podcasts, or who donated to our Fund Drive<\/a> or is a member of our Patreon<\/a>\u2014thank you for celebrating our birthday with us. Onward to year 26! And if you are catching up with your 2025 reading and listening, and would like a refresher on what Strange Horizons works are eligible for various awards, read on.<\/p>\n
