Galaxy Award (China)
The Galaxy Award[1] (Chinese: 银河奖; pinyin: Yínhé Jiǎng) is China's most prestigious science fiction award,[2] which was started in 1986[3] by the magazines Tree of Wisdom (Chinese: 《智慧树》; pinyin: Zhìhuì Shù) and Science Literature & Art (Chinese: 《科学文艺》; pinyin: Kēxué Wényì). After Tree of Wisdom ceased publication soon afterwards, the award was organized solely by Science Literature & Art, which was renamed to Science Fiction World (Chinese: 《科幻世界》) in 1991.[citation needed]
The structure of the prize has evolved, becoming an annual prize in 1991, and has recognized different categories.
