ENDEAVOUR AWARD

ENDEAVOUR AWARD HISTORY

Many of the best science fiction and fantasy writers in North America live in the Pacific Northwest. The Endeavour Award was funded by Portland-area writers and readers of science fiction and fantasy in 1996 and chartered by OSFCI. The Award honors the authors of distinguished science fiction or fantasy books, either novels or a single-author collections of stories, created by writers living and working in the Pacific Northwest. (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, British Columbia, The Yukon, and Alaska.) The Award first was presented in 1999 and is presented at OryCon for books published during the previous year.

The Award is dedicated to helping science fiction and fantasy writers living in the Pacific Northwest produce the best literature in the field. We seek to encourage new writers and bring new readers to books created in the Pacific Northwest. We do this through grants to finalists and winners and by recognizing and publicizing science fiction and fantasy written by Pacific Northwest authors. Beginning at the 2001 OryCon, we expanded our activity to encourage new science fiction and fantasy writers by involving Award finalists in writers workshops.
