Debate On The Structure Of The Sir Julius Vogel Awards

In accordance with the motion passed at the AGM on 24th March 2008, the SFFANZ Board have opened a discussion site to debate the structure of the Sir Julius Vogel (SJV) awards. Please visit sffanz_discuss for information on how to take part in the debate.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Interesting Lists

We've been asking for lists of work by New Zealanders in the fields of science fiction, fantasy and horror (see the panel on the right hand side of this page). To this end, we have put a new link in the left hand menu. It is called Interesting Lists and if you click on it, you will be taken to a page where we are starting to display the lists we have received. Of course, we'd like more material to add to the lists, so please do get in touch with us if you have anything to add.

Sir Julius Vogel Award winners for 2008 have been announced

The Sir Julius Vogel Awards are awards in professional and fan fields from the 2007 year, voted by the fans and presented at the National Science Fiction convention each year.

Changes to Rules for the Sir Julius Vogel Awards

At the 2008 AGM of SFFANZ, the new set of rules for the SJVs were accepted by a vote of the membership.

The members have also asked for further public discussion of the rules in order to clarify various issues that have arisen over the last 7 years. The SFFANZ board are currently deciding on the best way to carry out this discussion. It is likely that a combination of email and webpages will be used. We are concious of providing options for people in how they want to take part in the discussion.

We will provide details on how to take part in this discussion shortly. Members will be contacted directly, and the details will be made public here.
