The World Science Fiction Society, or WSFS, is an unincorporated literary society whose purpose is to promote interest in science fiction. WSFS has no standing officers, only small standing committees, and a large membership composed of the members of the current Worldcon. Running the annual convention and awarding the Hugo Award are its main activities.
It also awards the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer and, from 1974 to 1980, the WSFS presented the Gandalf Grand Master Award for lifetime achievement in fantasy writing.
