The PulpFest Organizing Committee is proud to announce that sixteen members of the general pulp community have been nominated for the 2010 Munsey Award. The nominees were selected by pulp fans over the last several months. Their names will now be forwarded to a committee made up of all the living Lamont Award winners and last year’s Munsey winner, Bill Thom, who will select the person to receive the 2010 Munsey.

The sixteen nominees include Anthony Tollin, Chris Kalb, Dan Zimmer, Don Herron, Garyn Roberts, Gene Christie, George Vanderburgh, Howard Wright,  John DeWalt, Laurie Powers, Mike Chomko, Mike Taylor, Ron Fortier, Ron Hanna, Steve Miller, and Bill Contento. You’ll find further details about each nominee on the 2010 Nominees page of our website.

The recipient of the 2010 Munsey Award, a limited edition print designed by artist and pulp enthusiast David Saunders, will be announced on July 31 as part of the Saturday evening programming schedule, open to all PulpFest 2010 registrants.
