Glasgow has bid to host the World Science Fiction convention in 2024.
This event brings together thousands of people from all over the world for science fiction and fantasy celebrations.
Worldcon, which has been held annually across the globe since 1946, is where the winners of the prestigious Hugo awards are announced - considered the oldest and most noteworthy awards for science fiction.

The bid for the 2024 Worldcon would see the convention held at the Scottish Event Campus, which hosted the 1995 and 2005 Worldcons - both of which were attended by Game Of Thrones author George R R Martin.
According to the bid’s announcement, the venue “has seen considerable growth in the last few years, including new onsite hotels and reworking and expansion of the spaces inside the convention centre. The SEC has recently announced a further £200 million development plan to support the growth of conventions around the campus.”
The site of the 2024 Worldcon will be selected at the 2022 Worldcon, which takes place in Chicago from September 1-5.
