NESFA Presents Skylark, Gaughan Awards at Boskone 58

The New England Science Fiction Association honored the winners of two annual awards at Boskone 58 on February 13.

SKYLARK AWARD

  • Anthony Lewis

The Edward E. Smith Memorial Award for Imaginative Fiction (the Skylark) is presented annually by NESFA® to some person, who, in the opinion of the membership, has contributed significantly to science fiction, both through work in the field and by exemplifying the personal qualities which made the late “Doc” Smith well-loved by those who knew him.

Skylark Award winner Anthony Lewis in 2002.

GAUGHAN AWARD

  • Hilary Clarcq

The Gaughan Award honors the memory of Jack Gaughan, a long-time friend of fandom and one of the finest SF artists of the 20th century. Because Jack felt it was important to encourage and recognize new blood in the field, The New England Science Fiction Association, Inc., presents the Gaughan Award annually to an emerging artist (an artist who has become a professional within the past five years) chosen by a panel of judges.

Clarcq’s website, with images of many more works, is here.
