Re: [basfa-list] Hugo Nomination Nights

[David Gallaher]

To follow up on Kevin's message, you do not have to be a member of either Interaction or of Noreascon 4 to participate in our Hugo Awards Recommendations discussion.  The more input we get, the better.  You DO have to be a member of either of those conventions to actually nominate works and people for this year's Hugo Awards, and you DO have to be a member of Interaction to vote for the Hugo Awards once the nominees are announced (probably in late March).

 

Kevin:  We might want to decide which categories we plan to discuss at each meeting.  My preference is that we start with the bottom of the ballot and work our way up.  That way, we finish with the pro fiction categories (and it give us more time to catch up on our reading from last year).

The next three Mondays at BASFA (January 17, 24, and 31), after the
regular meeting, those of us interested in the Hugo Awards are invited
to stay afterwards and discuss Hugo Award recommendations. I'll
accumulate them and send them on to Cheryl for inclusion on the Emerald
City Hugo Recommendations List .
We're doing this a little early this year because the Hugo Awards
deadlines are a little earlier this year (the Worldcon is a month
earlier than usual). We'll do this over three weeks rather than two
because the ballot is a little longer this year (Interaction added a
Best Web Site category) and because we have less time between the end of
the regular meeting and closing time than we used to have at our
previous meeting location.

You can nominate for this year's Hugo Awards if you were a member of
Noreascon 4, or if you are a member of Interaction by January 31. If
you need to buy a membership, you can do it online at
.

The Hugo Nominating Ballot is available at
. I'll bring blank
paper ballots as well, and if people want to fill them out and give them
to me, I'll even mail them in for you.

If you can't make it to Hugo Nomination Nights, feel free to write to
Cheryl directly with your recommendations.
