We had the first meeting of the 2018 Darrell Awards Jury on Saturday, July 22, 2017, and shook things up a bit.
I asked for this change in leadership so that I can focus on rebuilding my income, which has been diminished these past 2 years as I dealt with my wife’s declining health and my grief at her passing. I will continue to be on the Jury and to handle this website. Other than that, I am here to help with the transition.
We will shortly have a new email address and a new physical address for nominations and for nominated works. As soon as that is in place, we will post the 2018 Nomination Form and nominations for the 2018 Darrell Awards will be opened.
We will turn in a list of Finalists to the various departments of MidSouthCon by February 1, 2018, with publication on this website to follow shortly after that (finalist list deadline).
The Nomination Deadline and the Finalist List Deadline are both sooner than they have been in past years.
These new deadlines are based on the requests of the Convention Committee AND the fact that MidSouthCon will be held in 2018 weeks sooner than has been typical in previous years.
Please check back here for the 2018 Nomination Form and further announcements, which will be posted as soon as possible.
