I haven't nominated for the Ditmars yet. I'm surrounded by all the buzz and I believe in the awards and yet I can't make myself sit down and do my own noms.
I have come to the conclusion that I am a structured sort and I need a form to fill in. I'm good with those - they tell you how to do it and you just ... do it. I think this "email your nominations to a certain address" kinda takes away a certain ... je ne sais quoi ... formality from the process?
The
Conjecture website is the best place, I think, to source your - what the hell are the categories now - information from and these are:
Professional Categories
* Best Novel
* Best Novella or Novelette
* Best Short Story
* Best Collected Work
* Best Artwork
Fan Categories
* Best Fan Writer
* Best Fan Artist
* Best Fan Production
Special Award (for works not eligible in existing categories)
* Best Achievement
* William Atheling Jr Award (for criticism or review)
* Best New Talent
Nominations can be made via email to ditmars@conjecture2009.org
ETA: Ok it's done. Note to self, I tag my posts in the LSS livejournal *specifically* to find my lists at Ditmar time! Use them!
