The Endeavour Award is named after the ship of the famous explorer Captain James Cook and is awarded annually for the most distinguished science fiction or fantasy novel written by an author within the Pacific Northwest area of the USA and published in the previous year.
The Award is presented during the OryCon event held annually in Portland, Oregon.
In the rare occasions where a date is mentioned twice this indicates that the result was a draw.
When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.
