Science Fiction Foundation Awards
A reminder from Michelle Reid about two separate awards run by the Science Fiction Foundation.
First, a reminder that the deadline for the annual SF Foundation Essay Prize is coming up on 31 May 2005.
Judges for 2005:
Brian Attebery (Idaho State University)
Graham Joyce (World Fantasy Award winner)
Dianne Newell (University of British Columbia)
Essay submissions are invited for the annual Foundation Essay Prize. Authors must be graduate students at the time of submission. The essay, which must be in English, should be between 5000 and 8000 words long and may be on any aspect of science fiction.
Please send your submissions to Dr Michelle Reid in Word format, at michelle AT surguy.net
The winning essay will be published in Foundation; all submissions to the prize will be regarded as submissions to the journal, and will be considered for publication.
Second, the SF Foundation Bursary, which is open to everyone:
A £250 bursary will be awarded by the Science Fiction Foundation to be put towards the cost of a research visit to the SFF Collection at the University of Liverpool. Preference will be given to those not normally resident in Liverpool and its region.
Send a proposal of the planned research (maximum 300 words) to Dr Michelle Reid at michelle AT surguy.net
There is no deadline for applications as proposals will be judged on a case by case basis according to the needs of the applicant and merit of the research. More than one bursary may be awarded per year.
