Pórtico, Spain’s Association of Fantasy, Science Fiction and Horror (AEFCFT), announced the Ignotus 2020 winners on November 16 in an online award ceremony during the virtual HispaCón.

The association’s board also honored author and researcher Lola Robles with the Special Gabriel Award, for her invaluable contribution to science fiction, fantasy and horror literature.

They also announced the winner of the annual Domingo Santos contest, endowed with 200 euros, for the short story “El último psiquiatra de Marte” by Juan Francisco Jiménez Troya.

 According to Blanca Rodríguez, President of Pórtico: “HispaCón is a celebration of the literature we, the fans, love the most: stories of science fiction, fantasy and horror. The Ignotus are a great example of the fan’s engagement, because they are awarded by the popular vote, reflecting current tastes and trends. We are happy to report a high influx of voters and new members of our association and want to empathize the diversity of this year’s  shortlisted works.”
