IAFA Award
Entry updated 28 April 2022. Tagged: Award.
Awards presented since 1985 by the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts (IAFA). Winners of the Distinguished Scholarship award – presented since 1986 – are listed below. Other categories, perhaps of less general interest to the science fiction community, include the William L Crawford Fantasy Award for a debut work of fantasy, the Robert A Collins Service Award for service to the IAFA and regular Graduate Student Awards (the last being sponsored by Dell Magazines). The Stephen R Donaldson Award was inaugurated in 1997, with the first presentation being to Stephen R Donaldson himself; the Jamie Bishop Memorial Award for an Essay Not in English, commemorating Michael Bishop's murdered son, was added in 2007.
