Nominations for the SJVs 2021
It is that time of the year again where the Sir Julius Vogel Awards for New Zealand’s Science Fiction & Fantasy are taking nominations (it was actually that time several weeks ago but life has been rather hectic for 2021 so far).
The SJV Awards are for work published in 2020. I’ve had three stories published this year, and if you want to nominate any of them for the SJV Awards, I’d be thrilled. I’m particularly fond of Arachne’s Web in the special All New Zealand edition of Aurealis, but I also think The Turbine at the End of the World is an important story for the times from Prairie Fire’s special climate change edition. I suppose 2020 was the year of special editions.
You have till the end of March to nominate.
