Endeavour Award

The Endeavour Award is a prize for a science fiction or fantasy book written by an author from the  Pacific Northwest. It is given each year in November at OryCon in Portland, Oregon. The award is for books published the year before.

Award history
The Endeavour Award started in 1999. The name comes from Northwest explorer Captain James Cook's  ship  HM Bark Endeavour. A group of Portland area writers and readers of science fiction and fantasy collected money to support the award in 1996. It is managed by Oregon Science Fiction Conventions, Inc. (OSFCI) tax-exempt non-profit corporation.
