SJV Award Nomination Season

It's that time of year again - the nominating period for this year's Sir Julius Vogel awards. 

Don't forget to put in your nominations before the February 28 deadline!

These awards recognise New Zealand Speculative Fiction and the more nominations a work receives, the better its chances of making it to the final ballot.
If you liked a work released in 2015, please support it with nominations. 

Each nomination needs to be in a separate email to: sjv_awards@sffanz.org.nz which should state that you'd like to nominate the work, what category it is eligible for, name, author, etc and your contact details as well.
 

If one of the works you liked is mine, EVEN BETTER!

Currents of Change and Shifting Worlds are both eligible, as are several of the short stories within the Shifting Worlds collection, such as A Suitor, The Girl in the Window, & Drag Marks.
