Poll Result: The Top Awards in SFF

At a recent meeting, the club debated the relative merits of the Hugo Award which is granted by fans, and the Nebula which is determined by members of the SF Writers of America. In the poll conducted by Mike Glyer on File 770, both  proved near-unanimous choices right at the top.
