Sir Julius Vogel Award Finalists 2011: The Full List Now Out
The Sir Julus Vogel Award
The full list of finalists for the Sir Julius Vogel Awards 2011 for Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror has now officially been published here. (The award, by the way, is designed by Weta.)
As announced yesterday, I am delighted that The Heir of Night is one of this year's finalists for Best Novel. I am also particularly pleased that the map from The Heir of Night, drawn by Peter Fitzpatrick, is a finalist for the Sir Julius Vogel Award for Best Professional Artwork.

If you're interested in maps and their evolution as part of an epic fantasy like Heir, you may also like to check Peter's and my guest post on Harper Voyager last year: Introducing The Heir of Night Map. In it Peter describes his process for creating the map, which I personally found fascinating—but then I'm an SFF map geek, so no surprises there.:)
Personally, I think the Sir Julius Vogel Award finalists this year make a very strong showing—a great tribute to the SFF currently being created in New Zealand. But don't just take my say so: check out some of the works—if you haven't done so already—and consider coming to ConText and attending the award ceremony.
As you may recall from my post of April 6, I'll be there and am looking forward to maybe meeting some of you in person if you can make it too.
