From: Steven A. Swernofsky <SASW @ MIT-MC> I recently received a nominating ballot for the 1984 Hugo and John W. Campbell Awards. Works published in 1983 (or whose first English appearance is 1983) are eligible for the awards. Nominations are due by March 17, 1984. I would like contributors to SF-LOVERS to suggest works which they think are worth reading and then nominating. Here are the categories: Best Novel over 40 K words Best Novella 17.5 to 40 K words Best Novelette 7.5 to 17.5 K words Best Short Story under 7.5 K words Best Non-Fiction Book Best Dramatic Presentation Best Professional Editor Best Professional Artist Best Semiprozine 1K+ copies, paid staff, etc. Best Fanzine anything not a semiprozine Best Fan Writer Best Fan Artist John W. Campbell Award new writer, first work is 82 or 83 Of course the Hugo Nominating ballot and LAconII Progress Report 2 gives a more complete description of eligibility criteria. Thanx for your suggestions! -- Steve
