Congratulations to the Phoenix and Rebel winners this year!

The Phoenix was presented by local author Gerald Coleman to author and publisher Milton Davis. Milton Davis is the founder of MVMedia, which advances the careers of black speculative fiction writers by providing mentorship and a path to publication through small press releases and crowdfunded anthologies.

The Rebel was presented by previous honoree Regina Kirby to Edward DeGruy. Edward is a longtime convention volunteer, usually found in the consuite or green room. He has previously served on the board for Atlanta Outworlders, a nonprofit group that promotes geeky events serving the LGBTQ+ community of metro Atlanta. Edward was the chair of multiple OutlantaCons, a LGBTQ+ focused fan convention that ran from 2008 to 2024.

Folks have been asking if ContoberFest will be affected by Helene. The answer is no. The storm caused only minor damage in White County and the city of Helen. There should be no disruption caused by last week’s storms.

Currently Tropical Storm Kirk is projected to stay out at sea and poses no risk to land. We will continue to monitor and keep you updated.
