- (Did you mean a different No Award?)
Blog of Australian con-runners Stephanie Lai and Liz Barr, founded in 2013 "to discuss social justice online, particularly in the context of media and fandom […] a space for Australian voices". One of its FAQs asked whether the title was meant to "troll the Chronos Awards"; the reply explained the fannish use of No Award as
enabl[ing] people to indicate their complete disdain for all the nominees, while still having the personal satisfaction of having participated in the democratic process. We just thought it was funny.
It was "closed up" (while remaining available online) in December 2017, citing need for "prioritising other things — from real life to family to, yes, other blogging projects."
Subsequently it was nominated for a 2018 Ditmar Award (the category Fan Publication In Any Medium); in the same year Lai won Fan Writer as well as New Voice. Barr was nominated for New Voice in 2016 and for Fan Writer in 2018 (going on to win in 2019) together with her No Award "Star Trek: Discovery reviews" for William Atheling, Jr. Award for Criticism or Review (being a category in the Ditmars).
