The Pulp Factory Awards have officially been announced, and nominations are now open! It’s time to recognize the very best in new pulp writing and art.
Each year, fans gather at the Westin Hotel near Yorktown Mall in the Chicago metro area to celebrate classic and New Pulp literature. As part of that celebration, the Pulp Factory Awards honor outstanding achievements in the genre. The 2026 awards will recognize works published during the 2025 calendar year.
