THE WINKIE AWARD
The Winkie Award was conceived by Fred M. Meyer and Marc Lewis to honor individuals who have contributed significantly to OzCon International, the International Wizard of Oz Club, and Oz in general over the years. Unlike the L. Frank Baum Memorial Award, which is managed by past recipients of that award, the Winkie Award is selected by ballot vote by those attending OzCon International each year.
