First Fandom Hall of Fame is an annual award for contributions to the field of science fiction. Contributions can be as a fan, writer, editor, artist, agent, or any combination of the five. It is awarded by First Fandom and is usually presented at the beginning of the World Science Fiction Convention's Hugo Award ceremony.
In 1994, the Posthumous Hall of Fame Award was established for those who "should have but did not receive deserved recognition during their lifetime". In 1998, the Sam Moskowitz Archive Award was established. This award is for “excellence in collecting”.
