Sir Julius Vogel Award Nominations 2009

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

The list of nominations for the 2009 Sir Julius Vogel Awards has been released. I’m delighted to report that my friend Helen Lowe has been nominated twice: once for Best Young Adult Novel for Thornspell, and once for Best New Talent.

(The Sir Julius Vogel Awards are New Zealand’s science fiction awards. Like our version of the Hugos.)

The voting for the awards will take place at ConScription, as will the announcement of the results. I will be there, and so will Helen, who is presenting two workshops.

Go Helen!
