FAAn Awards

The FAAn Awards, started by Moshe Feder and Arnie Katz in 1975, were originally peripatetic, but for some time now have been awarded at Corflu. They are unrelated to the earlier Fan Achievement Awards.

* This is an unofficial FAAn Award, calculated and bestowed only when a fan is able to amass more total voting points across all categories than any single fan or fanzine receives in any single category. To be eligible for the list, a fan must receive votes in at least two categories.
In 2003 the attendees voted to rename the Best Letterhack Award to the Harry Warner, Jr. Memorial Award.
