Locus Awards Weekend!

The Locus Awards are a science fiction and fantasy literary award polled by the readers of Locus Magazine since 1971. The awards are presented at a banquet MC'd by the witty and entertaining Connie Willis. An autograph session, panel discussions with leading authors, and an annual Hawaiian shirt contest are highlights of the event. Attending memberships are $60 include a six month digital subscription to Locus Magazine (February to August 2017 issues). In addition, the Locus Writers Workshop will be taking place the same weekend with instructors Connie Willis and Carrie Vaughn. More details are available at Locus Awards Weekend.

Norwescon is proud to be a sponsor for the Locus Awards Weekend.
