The winner of the GUFF 2024 race is Kat Clay of Australia.
GUFF, the Get Up-and-over Fan Fund or the Going Under Fan Fund, depending on which direction it’s running, exists to provide funds to enable well-known fans from Australasia and Europe to visit each other’s national (or other) conventions and get to know each other’s fandoms better.
Alison Scott, European GUFF Administrator, writes:
The GUFF race has concluded and we are delighted to announce that Kat Clay will be the 2024 GUFF delegate and will attend Glasgow 2024: a Worldcon for our Futures. We hope she’ll enjoy the convention and take the opportunity to visit fans across Europe.
