Excerpt: The Tenth World Science Fiction Convention was held on Labor Day weekend in August 1952 at the Morrison Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. Unlike most worldcons before or since, it did not have a specific title other than the World Convention (of other Worldcons, only the 11th, in Philadelphia in 1953, shared this lack of name), although it was informally known by its acronym, TASFiC or as Chicon II. The convention chair was Julian C. May (later also known as Judy Dikty ). Hugo Gernsback was official guest of honor. The program included the performance of an original ballet. The convention for many years held the record for the largest attendance at a science fiction convention, with 870 registered attendees, a figure which was not surpassed for a Worldcon until Nycon 3 in New York in 1967.

These awards, the highest honour in science fiction circles, were first awarded at the 1953 Worldcon in Philadelphia. The convention is said to have been the place where Sturgeon's Law was first formulated (although other origin stories claim Sturgeon first articulated the concept in 1951, a year earlier).
