An annual award given since 1995 to filkers by a jury composed of delegates from many filk conventions. Currently, this includes NEFilk, ConChord, FilkContinental, OVFF, Conflikt, GAFilk, British Filk Convention, Consonance, DFDF and FilKONtario. The awards are issued at FilKONtario.
The purpose is to recognize long-term contributions to filk. Eligibility requires either a single noteworthy contribution at least five years prior or (most often) ongoing contributions for a period of ten years. The selection process is designed to avoid a popularity contest. Anyone may recommend people for induction; recommendations are supposed to contain as much relevant information as possible. The jury members review the recommendations and vote for the ones they consider most deserving. They are supposed to consider only the information provided in the recommendations.
Dave Hayman has been the administrator since the beginning of the awards. As the administrator, he was supposed to be ineligible, but in 2005 the jury revolted and named him and Judith Hayman to the FHOF.
Dave calls those who are selected, and they are admonished not to tell anyone until the award ceremony happens. The presence at FKO of noteworthy filkers who don't normally attend the con often leads to speculation that they are about to be inducted.
