We’re back for the fourth annual This Is Horror awards. As always the first stage involves public nominations. We’ve changed a few of the categories this year and now have eleven categories.

Readers can e-mail in their nominations for each category. Taking into consideration the nominations for each category This Is Horror will then draw up a shortlist.

The public nominations stage runs from 13 November 2014 through until 28 November 2014.

Rules

1. To be eligible for an award, where applicable, the creative work must have been released between 1 November 2013 and 13 November 2014. This means that the first release – DVD release in the case of films – must have occurred within the above time period. The season nominated for ‘TV Series of the Year’ must have concluded for it to be eligible.
