Eurocon

Eurocon is an annual moving SF convention in Europe organized under the auspices of / voted by the European Science Fiction Society and selected two years in advance by national delegations in a sort-of Cold War hangover. (Especially its heyday ca 1990–2010 saw some effort to alternate the Western and post-communist countries.) The European SF Awards are voted and announced at Eurocons.

The first Eurocon was held in Trieste, Italy, in 1972 (and biannual, leaping odd years until 1982). If the convention did not have another name, its often not clear whether it was called Eurocon X or Eurocon YEAR.
