Golden Duck Awards

The Golden Duck Awards, which are designed to encourage science fiction literature for children, are presented every year at Worldcon. There are several awards given each year, most carrying a small cash stipend. Super-Con-Duck-Tivity, the parent organization that presents the Golden Duck Awards, is a non-profit organization under 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Super-Con-Duck-Tivity holds an annual general interest science fiction convention called DucKon as a fundraiser.

We want to hear what 2011 science fiction books you are reading. The two best "book reports" will get free memberships to DucKon. Send in your book report by May 1, 2012 to info@goldenduck.org.
