From flamingo (flamingoslim@erols.com) Date Wed, 05 Oct 2005 06:45:13 -0400 We have TWELVE (12) finalists for the Paula Wilshe Award for new writers in SH. Why 12? Because 6 of the nominees had the same number of votes and couldn't be divided. In total, we had 163 nominations for 50 different writers. I think our SH community should be proud of the active participation in this voting. It's a wonderful acknowledgement of the lasting affect Paula has had on this fandom. Of the 38 writers who were nominated and did not make the finals list, the difference between one list and the other was as simple as a single nomination. It's fabulous that we have so many writers that readers think so highly of. Now, it's time to vote for the final winner. In case of a tie vote, both writers will be awarded, as we did last year. RULES: You may *only* vote for one of the 12 finalists. You may only vote ONCE. This is the honor system, because we are an honorable people. Please send your vote directly to me. As before, I will respond to your vote with an email that acknowledges that I've received it. If you send in a vote and don't hear back from me, send it again. I appreciate it. Voting will continue until October 15, the drop-dead date for final voting. Winners will be announced at the con, and will be announced on line when we get back from the con.
