There aren’t too many book awards that I stand any chance of achieving something in in New Zealand; a country where local-based books are highly encouraged and awarded. So I’m very excited that nominations for the Julius Vogel Awards are now open. These awards are voted on by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Assoc of New Zealand, but you don’t even have to be a New Zealander to make a nomination (just alive and kicking). The author you’re voting for though does have to be one (like me)! So if you enjoyed reading my novels, and think I deserve to be up for nomination in these awards, please do the following; [every nomination counts as only those with the highest nominations go forward to voting by SFFANZ members.]
Send email nominations to sjv_awards@sffanz.org.nz
You can vote for as many books and authors as you like, but each nomination (book) requires a separate email. Simply cut and paste the info below for the nomination you would like to make, add in your details, and forward it to the email address above.
For further information, or to see other authors you can vote for, go to: http://www.sffanz.org.nz/
