The Balrog Awards were a set of awards given annually from 1979 to 1985 for the best works and achievements of speculative fiction in the previous year. The awards were named after the balrog, a fictional creature from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium.〔(''Locus'' Index to SF Awards: About the Balrog Awards ). Accessed 08/14/2013.〕 The awards were originally announced by editor Jonathan Bacon in Issue #15 of ''Fantasy Crossroads'' and presented at the Fool-Con II convention on April Fool's Day, 1979 at Johnson County Community College, Kansas.〔(''Nemedian Chroniclers'' ), Issue #4, p. 12.〕 The awards were never taken seriously and are often referred to, tongue-in-cheek, as the "coveted Balrog Awards".〔 ==Awards (By Year)== ===1979=== * Best Novel: ''Blind Voices'', Tom Reamy * Best Short Fiction: "Death from Exposure", Pat Cadigan * Best Collection/Anthology: ''Born to Exile'', Phyllis Eisenstein * Best Poet: Ray Bradbury * Best Artist: Tim Kirk * Best Amateur Publication: ''Shayol'' * Best Professional Publication: ''Age of Dreams'', Alicia Austin * Best Amateur Achievement: Paul C.
