Nominate Night Shade Books For Prestigious Awards! (Hugo Awards Edition)

John Joseph Adams | January 24th 2009 at 7:56 pm

The 2009 Hugo Awards nomination ballot is now online. Deadline for nominating online is February 28 (paper ballots must be received by February 28).

In order to nominate for this year’s award, you have to have either been an attending or supporting member of last year’s Worldcon (Denvention), or you have to register as an attending or supporting member of this year’s Worldcon (Anticipation) by January 31.

If you just want to nominate, choose an adult supporting membership ($55 Canadian, about $44 US dollars). Otherwise, buy an attending membership. If you’re not sure if you want to attend, you can buy a supporting membership now, so that you can nominate, and then upgrade your membership later to a full attending membership if you decide to go to the convention.

Already registered? Go and nominate your favorite Night Shade titles!
