Awards
Donate to the Official WFC Charity World Fantasy 2006 Awards ballots were sent out as a part of Progress Report 3. All ballots must be postmarked by 30 June 2006. All ballots cast will be verified against membership lists from Madison and Tempe.

The winners are announced at the World Fantasy Convention Banquet, which will be held Saturday, November 4, 2006 at 7pm. Menu and price will be available on the Website.

All nominated material must have been published in 2005 or have a 2005 cover date. Only living persons may be nominated. When listing stories or other material that may not be familiar to all the judges, please include pertinent information such as author, editor, publisher, magazine name, and date, etc.

You may nominate up to five items in each category, in no particular order. You don't have to nonninate items in every category, but you must nominate in more than one. The items are not point-rated. The two items receiving the most nominations (except for those ineligible) will be placed on the final ballot. The remainder are added by the judges.
