# Constellation Awards

The Constellation Awards were a set of Canadian awards given annually for the best science fiction or fantasy works and achievements of the previous year. The event was founded in 2007. Constellation Awards are the only Canadian sci-fi award where the Canadian public select the nominees and winners in all categories. The awards were held at Toronto area hotels every year, but attendance and interest declined over time and the annual awards ended in 2014, which remains to date the last year the awards were held. The awards were run by the TCON Promotional Society, a not-for-profit organization that also ran several other Toronto-area fan events including the Toronto Trek, Polaris, Polar Chill, and Reversed Polarity fan conventions.
