Potlatch (convention)
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2009) |
Potlatch was an annual non-profit science fiction convention held in the Pacific Northwest region of North America since 1992. Unlike most SF conventions, Potlatch designates a "Book of Honor" rather than author, editor, fan, and/or artist "Guests of Honor;[1]" the appellation "Book of Honor" does not preclude works from other media receiving the honor, such as films.
