(Från en annan lista. Om jag nu inte minns fel är Jamie Bishop son till den kände sf-författaren Michael Bishop, och befann sig i USA för studier. Han var en av dem som mördades under den hemska massakern på den tekniska högskolan Virgina Tech i april i år. Därav att priset fått namn till hans minne. --AE)
