Chairman’s Corner by Richard Wright Phil Dick Award NORWESCON is pleased to be selected as the site for the presentation of the Phillip K. Dick Award for Best Original Paperback of 1983. The award was first suggested at NORWESCON 5, shortly after Dick’s death, by GoH Tom Disch. He formed an award committee and the first award was presented last year at an East coast book trade convention. This year’s committee, Disch, John Clute, AJ Budrys, and Tony Wolk, approved my suggestion that the award presentation be brought “home” to NORWESCON. Wolk will attend to present the award this year, and the awardee will be selected soon. We expect that NORWESCON will host the Dick Award presentations from now on.

From the February 1984 issue of Westwind, the Northwest Science Fiction Society (NWSFS) fanzine: The original announcement of the Philip K. Dick Award ceremony being held at Norwescon 8!
