The Locus Awards were established in 1971 and are presented to winners of Locus Magazine's annual readers' poll. Currently, the Locus Awards are presented at an annual banquet. Unusually, the publishers of winning works are honored with a certificate.[1]
The first Locus Award was given in 1971 for works published in 1970.
