Kate Wilhelm Solstice Award
The Kate Wilhelm Solstice Award, created in 2008, is given at the discretion of the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA) president, with the majority approval of the Board of Directors.
The award is for individuals who have had "a significant impact on the science fiction or fantasy landscape, and is particularly intended for those who have consistently made a major, positive difference within the speculative fiction field."
In 2016 the SFWA renamed the award the Kate Wilhelm Solstice Award in honor of genre author Kate Wilhelm, a winner of the award in 2009. (Unlike the Hugo Awards, as with the Nebula Awards, the year of the award is for the year prior to the year the award is actually given.)
