Från SF Awards Watch. Jaha ni, gott folk, jag får en massa uppgifter om
nyutdelande sf/f-priser. Och jag vidarebefordrar trogen infon´... Här är mer
info (men jag brukar utrsluta vad som är blott "nomneringar"). Jag bryter dock
den principen då ett par nomineringar gäller övers från finskan - och skall
presenteras på Eurocon (Brian Stableford får ett specialpris - jag får
intrycket att Stableford besöker conen, vilket vore trevligt då det är en bra
person):
