This post is part 1 of a 2-part series related to the 2015 Pegasus Awards<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Pegasus<\/p>\n

The Pegasus Awards<\/a> honor science fiction and fantasy-related music, and each year the organizers select two special categories for awards. This year one of the categories is the “Best Adapted Song.”<\/p>\n

This special category is pretty wide open for nominations, since it “can include adapting or parodying a mundane song or a filk song, but can also mean adapting a poem or book.” So it might involve the best use of an existing song to make a new filk song, or it could involve a song that best captures the spirit of a favorite story or movie.<\/p>\n
