| AWARD WINNERS | SF AUDIO HALL OF FAME | ENTRY FORM |

---

 

The Mark Time Award is given each year to honor the
Best Science Fiction Audio Production on the Planet.

And the Ogle Award for Best Fantasy Audio Production of the Year. Charles Ogle played the first Frankenstein's creation in Edison's silent 1910 film of the famous science fiction horror novel. Fantasy includes magical "high" fantasy, sword and sorcery, horror, modern urban fantasy, and other things that don't fall under the criteria of Science Fiction. But, we'll be the judges of that.

A Gold and a Silver Mark Time Award, and a Gold and a Silver Ogle Award, will be awarded at CONvergence,, July 6-7-8 of 2001.
