United Fanzine Organization
Supporting Independent Small Press Publishers Since 1968
The 2025 UFO Awards honored UFO member publications released during 2024. The awards were conducted in January 2026, with members of the general public invited to vote alongside the UFO community.
Nine categories recognized outstanding publishing, writing, storytelling, and artwork. The winner in each category received the most votes, with one category left without a winner because no nominee received multiple votes.
Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to everyone who voted. Special thanks to Tom Fellrath for designing the award graphics.

For a look back at the organization's history, this archive image preserves the results of the UFO Awards for member publications released in 1974, as printed in Kurt Erichsen's Endeavor #8 in Spring 1975.
The surviving page offers a direct connection between today's awards and the UFO's long tradition of recognizing achievement across the independent small-press community.
The UFO Awards celebrate work produced by members of the United Fanzine Organization. Independent publishers interested in participating are invited to learn more about membership.
