WisCon Supports the Tiptree Award
The James Tiptree Jr. Award was announced at WisCon 15 by Pat
Murphy in 1991 to honor and reward written Science Fiction and Fantasy that
explores and expands gender. Although the Tiptree ceremony travels around the
world (Boston MA, Oakland CA, England, Minneapolis MN, Fort Lauderdale FL),
most of the ceremonies have been held in Madison; WisCon has been the award's
strongest ally and supporter. Each year, WisCon holds an auction, runs a bake
sale, sells Tiptree t-shirts and promotes Secret Feminist Cabal publications to
help raise funds for the Tiptree Award. WisCon also promotes the award
through its publications and programming.
More news on these Tiptree-related events and the winner of
the Tiptree Award will be published on the
Tiptree web page (www.tiptree.org) and in
eCube
.
