This means you
Dec. 9th, 2008 09:12 amI see the Aurealis shortlists are out. Congratulations to those who made it. It reminds me however that I have been remiss in pointing out that nominations for the Sir Julius Vogel awards are now open. They are the New Zealand SF&F awards in case you were wondering.
At this point, the majority of you are about to stop reading, wondering what this would have to do with you, but I would point out the following:
Anybody can nominate for the SJVs. Anybody at all. There is some blather in the rules about “natural persons” but don’t let that stop the unnatural among you.
To judge by last year’s ballot, the definition of New Zealander is also a very inclusive one. Any sort of Kiwi association at all seems to be enough in some categories. For what it's worth, at least a couple of the Aurealis shortlisted items are also eligible for the SJVs.
The definition of what fits in a category is pretty broad too especially in the fan and services categories. Why not head over to the SFFANZ site and have a read about how to nominate.
