Australian Science Fiction Media Awards

The Australian Science Fiction Media Award (ASFMA) was an award given for achievement in non-literary media and media appreciation within Australian science fiction. The award was formally dissolved and incorporated into the Ditmar Awards at the Business Meeting of the Australian National SF Convention, Spawncon II in Melbourne in 1999, with the formal merger of the Australian "Media Natcon" and the Natcon.
