The first Infinity Award, for overwhelming contribution to Australian fandom by a resident of Victoria (Australia), was presented to [[Merv Binns]] at the [[2012]] [[Australian Natcon]], Continuum 8.
The Infinity Award is intended to be a rare honour only bestowed for an achievement so conspicuous that the recipient's name will never be forgotten.
The Award to Merv Binns was presented on behalf of the [[Continuum Foundation]] by [[Danny Oz]], founder of the [[Continuum]] convention series and possibly the only ever non-West-Australian recipient of the [[Silver Swan Award]] for overwhelming contribution to Western Australian fandom. 
Danny announced that Merv would no longer need to pay to attend Continuum conventions.
The Infinity Award trophy was in the form of a tall hourglass with wooden columns. After accepting the Award, Merv commented that the shape was perhaps not the most tactful for someone in his circumstances, as both he and [[helena-binns|Helena]] were mindful that their time was rapidly running out. Danny, who was carrying the trophy for Merv, turned the hourglass horizontal and redistributed the sands within to a moderate extent, whilst reiterating the symbolism of the Award.

In 2019, the second Infinity Award was presented to [[Bruce Gillespie]].
