Received from Ben Aaronovitch via the Rivers of London mailing list; this looks cool:
We are thrilled to announce the winners of the inaugural Gollancz and Rivers of London BAME SFF award.

Founded in October 2019, and working with one of my publishers, Gollancz, we are working to change the landscape of science fiction and fantasy and foster British voices of colour and bring their stories to the forefront of the genre.
I have been truly staggered by the range and quality of all the submissions. Choosing a shortlist was not easy and I’m looking forward to what happens to the winners and runners up alike. This was never planned as one off and we are already laying plans for 2021.
