Ditmar Award for Best Fanzine
From ZineWiki
Since 1969, the Australian National Science Fiction Convention has presented an annual award for which fanzines are eligible. For many of those years, the award has been an award for "Best Australian Fanzine".
In 2004 and 2005 the award was won by The Australian SF Bullsheet which was available in three formats: print, email, and website. The next three years the award for Best Fanzine was won by websites. In 2009, the award category for which fanzines are eligible had become that of "Best Fan Publication in Any Medium", and that category was won by a website.
