Forry Award Winners Award for Service to the Science Fiction Community Alphabetical List Each year since 1966, the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society has presented the Forry Award for Lifetime Achievement in the field of Science Fiction. Named after long-time fan and "Mr. LASFS", Forrest J Ackerman , the award is chosen by members of the club during a meeting usually in the mid- to late Fall of each year, and announced at that year's LOSCON. In 2002, over thirty-five years after the award's establishment, the club felt that it was high time that Forry himself receive the award that bore his name. This award is not the same as the Big Heart Award, administered for forty years by Forry Ackerman in memory of E. Everett Evans. Recipients by Year
