I
recently found out that my books A
Search for Meaning: The Story of Rex and
Zed: Volume One
had made the recommended list for the URSA award
nominations. Since none of my books have ever won or
been nominated for anything, that would be really cool
if I could make the nomination list. So if you're a
fan, this would be a great time to show your support!
Here's the info that was sent to me:
Nominations
(up to five in each category) for the 2003 Ursa
Major Awards for the best anthropomorphic literature
and art of 2002 in nine categories, to be presented
at ConFurence 2003 in April 2003, are now open. They
will remain open until January
7, 2003, when they will close so the nominations can
be counted and the voting ballot prepared. The voting
ballot will contain the five highest nominees in each
category.
Nominations
are to cover anthropomorphic motion pictures, TV programs,
fiction, artwork, publications and games first published
during the calendar year from January 1 through December
31, 2002.
See
the 2002
Recommended Anthropomorphic Reading/Viewing List
for the specific categories, and for some recommendations
in each category. Nominations are not limited to titles
on the Reading/Viewing List if you wish to nominate
something else that is eligible.
There
is no nomination form. Simply send your nominations
by letter (postmarked by January 7, 2003) to:
ConFurence
Group
(attention: Ursa Major Awards)
P. O. Box 84721
San Diego, California 92138-4721
or
by email to:
awards@confurence.net
And
remember: the Ursa Major Awards are meant for all Furry
fandom. Eligibility is international, not just for what
is released in the U.S., North America, or Great Britain.
There are Furry novels, comic books and fanzines published
during 2002 in Australia, Canada, Britain, and elsewhere
that have not yet been published in the U.S.; they are
all eligible. And participation is wanted from fans
everywhere, not just ConFurence members.
