John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Science Fiction
The John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Science Fiction was first given in 1973. John W. Campbell was an influential science fiction writer and editor of the magazine Astounding Science Fiction (later renamed Analog). He helped develop the talents of many major science fiction writers such as Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov. He was born in 1910 and died in 1971. The Campbell Memorial Award is selected each year by a panel of science fiction writers. The Award is presented at the Science Fiction Research Association (SFRA) Convention each year. The convention is normally held in Lawrence, Kansas each July. The award is a major science fiction award that is not as publicized or as well known as the Hugo and Nebula Awards.
