Pegasus Award

As science fiction (sci-fi) became better known and widespread within society in the 20th century as a distinct literary genre,[4] many fans expressed themselves through works of music and art, including filking.

The Pegasus Awards formally recognise filking or fan music as a fine lens that the sci-fi community shares with particular fiction-based cultural ideas.

There is an opinion poll that runs during the year as well to help interested folk brainstorm ideas for the nominating ballot.

The final round of voting happens at OVFF itself, where handwritten ballots are collected after the annual Pegasus concert.

[7] It is held annually in October in the Columbus, Ohio area, and the culmination of the event is the presentation of the Pegasus Award.
