The Faned Awards, aka the Canadian Fanzine Fanac Awards (CFFA), were created by R. Graeme Cameron, and recognized excellence in Canadian fanzines, no matter where the contributor is from. They were nominally given by the Canadian Fanzine Fanac Awards Society (that is, Cameron) and announced at VCON.
The first awards, given in 2011, were chosen by Cameron. In 2012, he picked winners with the help of "peer consultation and suggestion." The 2013 winners were selected by a vote of 19 Canadian fans (and Cameron won two of them). Voting was open to anyone anywhere who read Canadian fanzines.
There were five categories: Best Fanzine, Best Writer, Best Loc Writer, Best Artist and Hall of Fame . A year's winners were not eligible in the same category the following year.
The awards seem to have fizzled in 2015, with ballots released but no winners announced.
