Dell Magazines Award
The Dell Magazines Award for Undergraduate Excellence in Science Fiction and Fantasy Writing is an annual US literary award that has been awarded since 1997 for unpublished short stories from the fields of science fiction and fantasy written by college students . The winner is presented at the annual conference of the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts (IAFA) in Ft. Lauderdale , Florida announced. The prize is awarded by IAFA and Dell Magazines , the publisher of Asimov's Science Fiction magazine . The awards are mainly for stories based on the experience of a protagonist, which correspond to the style of this magazine.
The award goes back to an idea by Sheila Williams, editor of Asimov's Science Fiction , and Rick Wilber, science fiction writer and professor of journalism, who developed the two at the 1992 World Fantasy Conference in Pine Mountain , Georgia . The aim of the award was to honor the memory of Isaac Asimov, who died in the spring of the same year, and to give recognition and encouragement to talented authors who were just starting out. In 1993, the Isaac Asimov Award for Undergraduate Excellence in Science Fiction and Fantasy Short Story Writing was therefore presented at the conference in Ft. Lauderdale, which was first awarded in 1997. The name of the award was then changed to Dell Magazines Award in 2005 .
