  Horror Writers Association - Stoker Awards
To ameliorate the competitive nature of awards, the Stokers are given "for superior achievement," not for "best of the year," and the rules are deliberately designed to make ties fairly probable.
The award itself is an eight-inch replica of a fanciful haunted house, designed specifically for HWA by sculptor Steven Kirk.
Since all works of Horror published in a given year are automatically eligible for the awards, and since the entire membership of HWA is involved in the awards process, there is no way to submit works for consideration per se.
