threemonkeysMost people have been distracted by the election earlier in the week, but there is one going on here today. If, like me, you are bored with NZ party politics then why not vote in a much more interesting election.
GUFF is the "Get Up-and-over Fan Fund" or the "Going Under Fan Fund", depending on which way you're going. GUFF assists fans from Europe and Australasia to form closer links, by providing funds for well-known fans from one part of the world to attend a major science fiction convention in the other. The GUFF winners are selected by popular vote amongst fans, after a nomination process. Winners are required to attend a specified convention in the host country, and become administrators until the next winner from their area takes over.
All the nominations are in and you can go read about them over here on the Guff voting page. Why not vote while you are there.
For further information, people are on my flist are also saying nice things about nominees Alisa and Sue Ann & Trevor.
As well as all the voting mechanisms on those links, I am also offering the local fans a special opportunity. I will have voting forms at the Phoenix meeting this coming Wednesday 12th where you can record your preferences and pay your voting donation. Plus as a special offer, I'll cover the foreign exchange fees - so if you cough up NZD10, I'll cover the difference to send the AUD10 donation through to the fund coordinators. If enough of you vote, you can bankrupt me - think of it as a challenge.
