TheChandler Award is presented by theAustralian Science Fiction Foundation for "Outstanding Achievement in Australian Science Fiction". It is named in recognition of the contribution that science fiction writerA. Bertram Chandler made to Australian science fiction, and because of his patronage of the Foundation.
Unlike theDitmars, this award is decided upon by a jury and, although nominally an annual award presented in conjunction with theAustralian National Science Fiction Convention, is not necessarily presented every year.
The first Chandler Award was presented in 1992 toVan Ikin at the National Science Fiction Convention - SynCon '92.[1]
