History

The Continuum Foundation, which oversees the awards, offers the following history:

The Chronos Awards honour excellence in Victorian SF, Fantasy and Horror (where "Victorian" refers neither to the British era nor to the Canadian city, but to the Australian state of Victoria). They are presented once every calendar year, often during the Continuum convention.'
