Sir Julius Vogel Awards
Jan. 3rd, 2008 10:02 amIt 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.
