Fr SF Awards Watch (formateringen blir så där, via klipp/klistra):
Science Fiction editor and author Stanley Schmidt is the 2012 winner of the
Robert A.
Heinlein Award. The award is bestowed for outstanding published works in
science fiction and technical writings that inspire the human
exploration of space. The physical form of the Robert A. Heinlein Award
consists of a 3.5 avoirdupois ounce sterling silver medallion bearing
the image of Robert A. Heinlein as depicted by artist Arlin Robbins. The
medallion is matched with a red-white-blue lanyard. In addition, the
winner receives two lapel pins for use when a large medallion is
impractical, and a certificate plaque designating the award suitable for
home or office wall display.
This year for the
first time the award will be presented on Friday, May 25, 2012 at
opening ceremonies during Balticon 46, the Maryland Regional Science
Fiction Convention. The award will be presented by Heinlein Committee
Chair Dr. Yoji Kondo to Ian Randal Strock, editor and publisher of
SFScope, accepting for Stanley Schmidt.
Stanley Schmidt is
the long time editor of Analog Science Fiction and Fact Magazine, author
of ?The Coming Convergence: Surprising Ways Diverse Technologies
Interact to Shape Our World and Change the Future? and editor of many
science fiction and science fact anthologies.
The Robert A.
Heinlein Award committee consists of science fiction writers and is
chaired by Dr. Yoji Kondo, a long time friend of Robert and Virginia
Heinlein. Members of the committee were originally approved by Virginia
Heinlein. The Baltimore Science Fiction Society provides logistical
support for the award including manufacture of award materials and
processing of donations.
