Worldcon-VR

This will be a very special Worldcon - parts of it will be held inside some amazing virtual worlds in several virtual universes. You will be able to talk with many science fiction celebrities who were unable to make it to the convention - writers, films directors, actors, special effects people, artists, scientists, and technologists. There will be science fiction worlds and space ships for you to explore, and people for you to meet. Some of this will only be seen at the convention, but much of it will be accessible to anyone, anywhere on the planet. For more information on this please check out the Worldcon-VR pages.

Spawncon Two

Although there will be no separate Australian National Science Fiction Convention in 1999, the business usually dealt with by the National Convention - the Australian Science Fiction Achievement Awards (Ditmars), the 1999 Business Session and the site selection for the 2001 Australian National Science Fiction Convention - will be carried out at Aussiecon Three, under the name of Spawncon Two.

All Australian fans are entitled to nominate works for the Australian Science Fiction Achievement Awards. All Australian members of Aussiecon Three will be entitled to vote in the Awards. A separate voting membership, for those Australians who wish to vote, but who do not intend joining Aussiecon Three, is available.

The Awards will be presented at the Other Awards Ceremony at Aussiecon Three. The business session (dealing with the constitution and 2001 site selection), and a session looking at the future of Australian National Science Fiction Conventions are planned.
