Golden Duck Awards

The Golden Duck Award was created by several interested fans who were unsuccessful in lobbying for a children's Hugo in 1991. It is a cash award, funded by Duckon [www], a western Chicago suburbs convention that started in 1992. ConuCopia hosts this year's awards presentation, on Friday at 2:30 PM.
