The Board of Directors of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame announced the 2002 inductees today at ConQuesT 33 in Kansas City. The posthumous inductees will be James Blish and Donald Wollheim and the living inductees will be Samuel R Delany and Michael Moorcock.

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame was founded in 1996 by the J. Wayne and Elsie M. Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction (at the University of Kansas) and the Kansas City Science Fiction and Fantasy Society. The induction will take place at the University of Kansas on July 5th, as part of the same ceremony as the awarding of the John W. Campbell and Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Awards.

The primary source of funds for the Hall of Fame is a benefit auction held at ConQuesT science fiction convention. This year's convention raised nearly $3,000.
