Each year, the Australian National Science Fiction Convention presents the Ditmar Awards for the previous calendar year. (English, Member-written)The Ditmar Award (formally the Australian SF ("Ditmar") Award, and, before that, the "Australian Science Fiction Achievement Award") has been awarded annually since 1969 at the Australian National Science Fiction Convention (the "Natcon") to recognise achievement in Australian science fiction (including fantasy and horror) and science fiction fandom. The award is similar to the Hugo Award but on a national rather than international scale. (Spanish, Member-written)
