Nominations for the Aurora awards close on April 15. For reasons that may be apparent I’m hoping as many people as possible nominate works they’ve read and liked. A final ballot will be compiled from the top nominees in May. To nominate you have to be a paid-up member of The Canadian Science Fiction & Fantasy Association (CSFFA); this will cost you $10 but there are several ways to pay including Paypal.
CSFFA’s link is www.prixaurorawards.ca You can nominate (up to three items in each category) electronically there, or download a mail-in form.
You get one chance to vote, with no second thoughts, so I recommend that you at least look at the list of eligible works assembled at www.canspecfic.com/2012-
Think of it as keeping SF democratic.
Thanks,
John
Thanks for posting this. While I don’t want to play favourites I will mention some names on the list with Ottawa connections. There’s my own novel, Janus ; Charles de Lint has entries in the YA novel, novella and short story categories; Matthew Johnson and Derek Künsken have novelettes; Marie Bilodeau, Leslie Brown (a fellow Lyngarde member), Matthew Moore and Jean-Louis Trudel have short stories; and Hayden Trenholm has an anthology.
Good luck to all of us!
