New Zealand science fiction fan award winners 1989-2001
National awards have been presented annually since 1989, but were intially simply known
as the New Zealand Science Fiction Fan Awards, and were originally aimed primarily
at fandom rather than at professional science fiction. In these early years the awards
were organised on an ad hoc basis by the organising committees of the national
conventions, though with the support of the former national fan organisation, the National
Association for Science Fiction (NASF) which nominally ran the awards from 1993.
In 2002 the awards were revamped and reorganised and are now run by the Science
Fiction and Fantasy Association of New Zealand (SFFANZ). Prior to SFFANZ taking
over the running of the awards, the following awards were presented:
