    THE CHESLEY AWARDS

    Jannie Shea, Andrea Senchy

    Presenting the Chesley Awards for excellence in the field of sf and
    fantasy art for works created or first exhibited or published in 2008.


    The Chesley Awards were established in 1985 as a means for the SF and Fantasy art community to recognize individual works and achievements during the previous year. The Chesleys were initially called the ASFA Awards (ASFA is the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artist), but were later renamed to honor famed astronomical artist Chesley Bonestell after his death in 1986.

    Check here for all the Nominees and Categories!

    I premi Chesley nacquero nel 1985 allo scopo di riconoscere le migliori opere create dagli artisti nel campo dell’Arte Fantastica nell’anno precedente. All’inizio erano denominati ASFA dalla sigla stessa dellAssociazione degli Artisti di Fantascienza e Fantasy, poi il nome cambiò per onorare l’artista Chesley Bonestell, a seguito della sua morte sopraggiunta nel 1986.

    I put my trust in the enlisted reporters for first-hand scoops from the Con! My keywords are WorldCon and Fantastic Art. For anything you wish to signal, please contact me through my Multiverse or drop a comment in the posts signed by Yours Truly. WorldCon is a place where the sense-of-wonder lingers and just now hundreds of elves and magical creatures, disguised as artists, publishers and fans are climbing out of their planes, trains, car or brooms to attend Day One of Anticipation. With an eye on the splendid Alps outside my window, I’ll be also looking at my overseas colleagues trying to testify their epic stay.

    Ripongo la mia fiducia nei reporter arruolati dallo Staff per esclusive in diretta dalla Convention! Le mie parole chiave sono WorldCon e Arte Fantastica. Qualsiasi cosa desideriate segnalare, per favore contattatemi tramite il mio Multiverso oppure lasciate in questo Blog un commento ai messaggi firmati dal sottoscritto. La Worldcon è un luogo dove aleggia senso di meraviglia e proprio adesso centinaia di elfi e creature magiche, travestiti da artisti, editori e fan sbarcano dai loro aerei, treni, auto o scope per presenziare alla prima giornata di Anticipation. Con un occhio alle splendide Alpi appena fuori la mia finestra, osserverò anche i miei colleghi cercando di essere un testimonial del loro epico soggiorno. MM
