Awards

As spring (hopefully) comes on the hills and valleys, the thoughts of young writers turn to giving each other awards.

That is to say, the deadline for nominating for The Hugos is midnight on Saturday (for attendees of this or last year's Worldcon), and the deadline for nominating for the Aurora Awards is approaching -- March 17th (for Canadians).

Since the field of Canadian-authored works is narrower, there's a great list of Aurora-eligible (and other award-eligible) works at The Canadian SF Works Database, which I have touted before and will again as a brilliant little idea.

Nominate early, nominate...well, not often, but tell your friends to do it too.

And watch her post that PSA without once! mentioning her own work!

Do I have to fill out the entire Aurora form for it to be eligible?

I think you don't -- I haven't read any of the French ballot, so I'm just ignoring that half.

Yes, I notice a sad absence of any Architect's Dream pimping here. ;)

Give me blurb text and I shall pimp!
