The Double Gammas are the awards for excellence in Australian Doctor Who fandom.
History[]
The Double Gammas are part of the many fan activities relating to Doctor Who in Australia and were first awarded in 1984,[1] and were administered by the Supreme Council of Time Lords (who were formed to help bind together the regional clubs and to award the Double Gammas) until the last award was presented by them in 2000. After that, by arrangement they have now been taken over by current fan clubs, and are judged through contribution by each interested party.[2] The first of the revived awards was announced June 21, 2008. The 2009 nomination period was extended by an extra month to cope with late interest. [3]
Categories[]
Suggested categories include Best Fanzine, Best Fiction, Best Non-Fiction, Best Fan Writer, Best Fan Art, Best Editor, Best Doctor, Best Assistant, Best Villain, Best Australian Website, Best Doctor Who-related podcast, Best Review/Critique and a Special Award for achievement. The 2009 awards comprised Fanzine, Newsletter, Editor, Writer, Artist, Website, Achievement and a write in category.
