The Valorious Awards, sponsored by international best-selling author Christopher Hopper, is an annual competition seeking to recognize and encourage emerging artists in two categories; best sci-fi novel and best sci-fi voice actor.

The awards seek to recognize independent authors and character actors and discover new and exciting talent within the world of science fiction. Entrants are judged by a panel of independent reviewers and industry professionals who are not compensated for or beneficiaries of their participation.

We are keen to encourage quality submissions, so suggest writers to check their stories before submitting using Prowritingaid. They have free and paid versions and are the best writing software we know to help improve grammar, readability and check for repetition, ‘sticky’ sentences and suggest alternatives.
