VCON

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

VCON is the acronym for the Vancouver Science Fiction Convention, hosted by the West Coast Science Fiction Association, since 1971.

It is at VCON that the coveted Elron Awards for most dubious "achievements" in science fiction are presented, often with selected passages from the offending winners publicly read to the delight of attendees. R. Graeme Cameron, president of the British Columbia Science Fiction Association, has stated publicly that the name is not an allusion to science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. The awards are reported each year in the SF fanzine BCSFAzine.
