Cordwainer Smith Rediscovery Award
Entry updated 30 August 2021. Tagged: Award.
A juried life achievement Award set up in memory of Cordwainer Smith by the Cordwainer Smith Foundation, intended to honour notable sf and fantasy authors who in the view of the judging panel either did not receive or no longer receive as much attention as they deserve. It was first presented to Olaf Stapledon at the 2001 Worldcon, and is now given annually at the US literary Convention Readercon. The award is usually made posthumously, an exception being the 2011 presentation to Katherine MacLean. [DRL]
