It seems an appropriate time to remind people that nominations for the New Zealand Science Fiction and Fantasy awards (Sir Julius Vogel Awards) are currently open. Appropriate because the elgibibility time period (2007 calendar year) is just over and the nominations close on the 26th of January which isn't far away.

Note that anybody can be a nominator - you don't have to be a member of SFFANZ or even a New Zealander to put somebody forward. The actual nominees have to be a NZ resident OR a NZ citizen. The latter meaning that any Kiwi living anywhere in the world is eligible.

So come on all you editors and publishers. I know some of you have published Kiwi authors - get their names forward. For those of you who are eligible, I should point out that there is no rule against nominating yourself.

Details of the process on the SFFANZ web site.

Does that mean that I would be able to nominate your blog once more for a fan award?

If you were to feel so inclined...

Modesty is holding me back from any further encouragement.

Having met you in person, I can even imagine your face as you typed that.

*grins*

I'm hoping you were imagining deadpan - I'm at work and don't want to give away what I'm doing.

OY! No discouraging the nice Swedish man with the good english - he can be nice to Kiwis if he wants to.

Especially if it leads to enough nominations to actually have a ballot for best fan writing. :-)

But not anybody can be nominated - you need some sort of claim to being Kiwi. When the talent gene pool is a shallow as it is over here, you need to spread the net as widely as possible.
