2024 • Volume 40
On the evening of Thursday, April 25, 2024, glamour and elegance were in full display at the 40th Annual L. Ron Hubbard Achievement Awards gala for Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contests in the genres of Science Fiction and Fantasy. The event was held at the Taglyan Cultural Complex in Hollywood, CA, with a crowd of 350 people attending the black-tie event.
The cover artwork illustrated by Illustrators of the Future Contest Judge Dan dos Santos, entitled Starcatcher, inspired the story “Shaman Dreams,” written by Writers of the Future Contest Judge S.M. Stirling. Voice actors Jim, Tamra, Taylor Meskimen, and Victoria Summer recorded the audiobook for Volume 40.
