Campbell Award (Best Novel)The John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel has been awarded every year since 1973, except in 1994. Unlike other major science fiction awards, such as the Hugo and the Nebula, recipients are selected by a panel. In 1976, the panel felt that no truly outstanding novels had been published the previous year, and so the award was given retrospectively to a novel published in 1970. In 1994, no award was given; this was due to a breakdown in the nomination process, not because no novel was judged worthy. The award ceremony has been held in a number of places over the years, but since 1979 has been held at the University of Kansas, where it has become the focus of a weekend-long conference that also includes discussions of the writing, illustration, publishing, teaching, and criticism of science fiction.
