The North American Science Fiction Convention (NASFiC) will be held in Detroit July 17-20. (The NASFiC is held when the World Science Fiction Convention is outside of North America.) The Hugo awards are given out at the world convention; this convention will feature awards for speculative fiction in two age brackets, as well as the annual Golden Duck Awards for excellence in the field of children’s science fiction. Anyone is welcome to nominate works for the award, though only members of the convention may vote. Eligible works will have been first published (or first published in English) in 2013. Nominations are due by February 28, 2014. See http://detcon1.org/award for further information and nomination ballots. Jennifer Dye Librarian Hubbard Branch Detroit Public Library 12929 W.
