Ognjanović je prošle godine
zavredio nominaciju za Rondo Haton nagradu obimnim tematom
o Hauardu Filipsu Lavkraftu, koji je objavljen u najpoznatijem
svetskom horor magazinu Rue Morgue (br. 161), krajem 2015.
godine. Na kraju glasanja našao se u najužem izboru u toj kategoriji.
Ove godine nominovan je za Rue
Morgue temat o 200
godina Frankenštajna iz broja 171, koji čine tri povezana eseja: „Madness, Myth and the Modern Prometheus“, „Endowed by Lightning“ i “Curse
of Creation”.
