The Galaxy Award[1] (Chinese: {{{1}}}) is China's most prestigious science fiction award,[2] which was started in 1986[3] by the magazines Tree of Wisdom (Chinese: {{{1}}}) and Science Literature & Art (Chinese: {{{1}}}). 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: {{{1}}}) in 1991.[citation needed]

The structure of the prize has evolved, becoming an annual prize in 1991, and has recognized different categories.

In September 2016, the 27th Galaxy Award was held at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics;[citation needed],[4] in November 2017, the 28th award ceremony was held in Chengdu, China.[3]
