karenhealeyAwards season is upon us! Here is my official post about what awards When We Wake is eligible for this year.
When We Wake is eligible for:
The Sir Julius Vogel Awards.
NOTE: If you're thinking, "hey, I really liked Karen's book, I'd like to nominate it for something, but I don't have time for a lot of selection and consideration, I wonder which award she'd most prefer nomination for," the answer is: this one.
SFFANZ is awesome, and supporting New Zealand spec fic creativity is very important to me. I also really like that the nomination process is open to ANYONE; nationality, organisation, or con membership are irrelevant. All that's important is that you liked something, and want it to be recognised.
Eligibility: SFFANZ awards apply to works of fantasy, horror, or science fiction, by New Zealand citizens or residents, released in the previous calendar year. When We Wake is eligible for nomination in the Best Young Adult Novel category.
Who can nominate: Anyone at all! Non-New Zealanders are welcome.
How to nominate: email sjv_awards@sffanz.org.nz with the following information:
