FSWA Writing Awards
altThe FSWA presents awards to those writers who have displayed outstanding work in the fantasy sports industry. Only FSWA members are eligible to win awards (FSWA Executive Committee officers and advisors are ineligible to win.) Each fall, the FSWA Executive Committee calls for nominations. Writers and publishers are given a period of time to submit, after which an independent panel of judges determines the winners for each category.
