JOHN W. CAMPBELL AWARD

   Award for the best new sf writer of the year, selected by votes of sf fans and presented at the World Sf CONVENTION during the HUGO ceremony. Sponsored by Conde-Nast, publishers of Analog, the JWCA was instituted in1972 in tribute to John W. CAMPBELL Jr, its celebrated editor, who died in 1971. Davis Publications continued the sponsorship when Analog passed into their hands. The anthology series NEW VOICES, ed George R.R. MARTIN, was devoted to printing original novellas (written a few years later) by, in each volume, a given year's finalists; it ceased after 5 vols. Several of the winners were at the time of receiving the JWCA primarily fantasy writers.
