The Ditmars have been awarded annually since 1969 to recognise achievement in Australian science fiction, fantasy and horror, and operate in a similar manner to the Hugos, although on a national rather than international scale.
It's always great to see friends and acquaintances on the list. Congratulations to all those nominated.
