BSFA awards open for nominations
Nominations are now open for this year’s BSFA awards. Many thanks to Ian Snell for his work as awards administrator last year and his help in handing back over.

All current members of the BSFA are eligible to nominate and vote for the awards, which will be presented at next year’s British national science fiction convention (Eastercon). Members of the Eastercon will also be eligible to vote for the awards.

The 2008 Eastercon will be the 50th anniversary of the founding of the BSFA and we will therefore be presenting a special award for the best genre novel of 1958. This will be nominated and voted on in the same way as the awards for works published in 2007, for which there will once again be four awards categories: novel, short fiction, artwork and non-fiction.

Details about what’s eligible and how to nominate can be found on the temporary BSFA website: http://www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa/main/awards.asp
