2012 Aurealis Awards announcement
SpecFaction NSW is pleased to announce exciting news for this year’s Aurealis Awards gala ceremony, Saturday 18 May 2013 at The Independent Theatre in North Sydney.
Scott Westerfeld has kindly agreed to be our Master of Ceremonies. Scott is the author of eighteen novels, including several very popular YA series such as Leviathan, Uglies and Midnighters. We are very excited to have him with us this year.
In addition, this year the ceremony will include a special screening of a short film by well-known artist Nick Stathopoulos and director Ryan Cauchi, "
It Grows". A work inspired by love of the creature feature genre and featuring miniatures and puppetry made with Nick's superb artistry and design work, the 7-minute live-action film took Nick and Ryan over a year to make. Don’t miss it!
On a sadder note, we are sorry to say that 2013 will be the last year of running the Aurealis Awards for SpecFaction NSW. Our connection with the Awards will conclude with the ceremony in May. This may be the last time the event is held in Sydney for some years, so please join us for one last gala night at The Independent!
