The DGLA was presented for the very first time in 2009 for the best Fantasy novel of 2008. The winner was Andrzej Sapkowski's much loved 'Blood of Elves'
Here is a response from Mr Sapkowski on the news of his win!
"I am very happy and proud to be a winner in the contest for The David Gemmell Legend Award, the prize precious to me indeed, as I am a great admirer of the writings of the late David A. Gemmell. I would like to express my gratitude to all the readers who voted for my book. I would also like to thank and congratulate all the other fellow writers in the final poll. Finally, it is fantasy - our genre - that was the ultimate winner."

Our thanks to Derrick Lakin-Smith for making this possible.
Nominations for the best Fantasy of 2009 will open to the publishers in October 2009. Voting on the Longlist will begin again on Boxing Day!
