Nominate Weather Child for The Sir Julius Vogel Awards
Nominations have opened for the The Sir Julius Vogel Awards. These are the awards the Science Fiction and Fantasy Association of New Zealand Inc. award to New Zealand artists (and a few others listed in their Rules and Criteria) Although most of us can’t win, we’re all eligible to nominate works we enjoyed. Not only can we nominate these works, but the more nominations these works receive, the more likely they are to be placed on the ballot. While most of us can’t actually vote (members of the association only), a work can’t win if it isn’t on the ballot.
With that in mind, if you listened to Weather Child, and you enjoyed it and think it deserves to be on the ballot, along with it’s author, the wonderful Philippa J. Ballantine, feel free to “borrow” any of the information provided below to complete your nomination. Nominations can be placed via email to: sjv_awards@sffanz.sf.org.nz. The nomination needs to include at least the information contained in lines 1-9. The rest is optional.
I make no secret of the fact that I was, and still am, totally enamored with Weather Child and I definitely think it is worthy of this honor.
