(Did you mean a Rivercon award?)
The Pegasus Award is a series of filk awards given annually by the OVFF since 1984.
The categories vary from year to year. Four categories are relatively stable (see the first table) and the other categories change annually (see the second table).
The voting process has three stages:
- A brainstorming phase, where voters make suggestions on-line.
- A nominating ballot, where voters make up to five nominations in each of the six categories. The list generated by the brainstorming may be used as reference by the voters, but they are not constrained by it.
- A final ballot where each voter gets to pick one choice from among the nominees in each category. This final balloting is done in advance and at OVFF.
Since 2008, the Pegasus Awards published a newsletter, Wing Words with information on the awards.
