The Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award recognizes the best science fiction short story of each year. Established in 1987 by James Gunn and the heirs of Theodore Sturgeon, including his partner Jayne Engelhart Tannehill and Sturgeon’s children, it is “a memorial to one of the great short-story writers in a field distinguished by its short fiction.”
The winner will be announced this summer, and will receive a cash prize as guest of honor at the first Sturgeon Symposium. For more information, see the Gunn Center’s website.
