1942 Worldcon Site Selection

Site selection for the 1942 Worldcon was conducted at Denvention. This was before there were formal bid committees, so it is unlikely that the bids were organized much before Denvention.

Four bids presented at the site selection meeting:

• San Francisco in 1942 by Joe Fortier
• Washington, DC in 1942 by Milton Rothman
• Philidelpha in 1942 by Bob Madle
• Los Angeles in 1942 by Walter Daugherty.

Los Angeles won but due to WWII the con was not held until 1946.
