The Risa Tigue Reusable Award: Gen fandom operated primarily via snail mail for almost 20 years before going online in the fall of 1996. Many longtime fans, including some of the fanzine editors, were essentially cut off from mainstream fandom by the shift.

This award honors Sime/Gen fans who have given their old computer systems to further the cause of other Sime/Gen fans' gaining email and Web access, and also the recipients of those computers for giving email and the Web a game try and, well, for just being themselves!See the recipients ...

The Tech-ton Award was invented by Jacqueline Lichtenberg in 1997, this award goes to people who have benefitted Sime~Gen fandom by the creation and/or application of new software and online tools. See the recipients ...

The Nager Awardis given to those who have given emotional support to others, guiding them through rough times or just generally "being there" when needed. See the recipients ...


While there are six "set" awards sometimes new awards are made up on the fly when it is realized that someone has done something particularly special that no award already in existence covers.

Arensti Award

This award has only been given to two artists over the years. However it should have been given to every artist who has created any Sime~Gen art. This being the case I will not be mentioning those artists individually, but giving this award to ALL artist in the Sime~Gen family. Their art can be seen throughout the Wiki, the Concordance, and on the website, in the Arensti Gallery
