Services to Fandom |
Norman Cates and the SFFANZ discussion group | For their work in setting up SFFANZ and the Sir Julius Vogel Awards |
| Martin Kealey | For support and administration of the sf.org.nz web domain. This support enables many clubs and conventions to have websites for no cost. | |
| Simon Litten | Simon is one of the founding members of Phoenix. He’s been treasurer for most of the last twelve years and he is a valued fender off and knowledge repository of bureaucracy | |
| Phoenix SF Society | Phoenix has provided an invaluable service to NZ fans for many years by providing an organisation that allows fans to share their interests. While it is perforce Wellington based, it never fails to open its doors to visiting fans. Also the organisational model that Phoenix has used with such success has been adopted by Stella Nova (the other major NZ fan organisation). So Phoenix deserves nominating for the strength of its organisational ideas and for the services it has provided for bringing fans together over such a long period of time all of which have been a very positive benefit to NZ fandom. | |
Services to SF and F |
Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Phillipa Boyens | For their masterpiece work of “Lord of the Rings : Fellowship of the Ring”. |
| Alan Robson | For continuous unstinting intelligent literary criticism | |
| Phoenix SF Society | Phoenix has New Zealand's premier SF author as its patron and positively encourages SF activity. It has close relationships with local bookshops and through formal and informal mechanisms encourages them to make as much SF as possible available "over the counter". Through its special interest groups (SIGs) it encourages its members to produce SF work (both written and visual) and by providing an umbrella and also the encouragement of the members peers, has been instrumental in giving much local science fiction to the community at large. It has, for example, produced several short story collections which would not have existed but for Phoenix. Again, this has been gradual, over a period of years, and I believe it is time that these very positive contributions to the genre be formally acknowleged. |
There were also other categories nominated, but because there was only one nominee, these categories were ineligible.
