Isaac Asimov Award

Isaac Asimov Award

Two distinct awards have been named for writer and humanist Isaac Asimov. One, the Isaac Asimov Award for Undergraduate Excellence in Science Fiction and Fantasy Short Story Writing, is an annual award open to undergraduate college students and given to the author of the best science fiction or fantasy short story. Established by the magazine "Asimov's Science Fiction" and the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts, the award is typically given for character-driven stories of the type published in that magazine.

The skeptical organization CSICOP also created an Isaac Asimov Award, established in 1994 "to honor Asimov for his extraordinary contributions to science and humanity". The first recipient was Asimov's friend Carl Sagan [http://www.csicop.org/articles/sagan.html] . Stephen Jay Gould was also a winner [http://www.csicop.org/sb/9609/congress.html] .
