Locus Award

Locus Award

The Locus Awards were established in 1971 and are presented to winners of "Locus Magazine's" annual readers' poll. Currently, the Locus Awards are presented at an annual banquet. Unusually, the publishers of winning works are honored with a certificate. [ [http://www.locusmag.com/SFAwards/Db/Locus.html The Locus Index to SF Awards: About the Locus Awards ] ]
