Hugo Voters Sasquan Members

Have you submitted your ballot for this years Hugo Awards?

I just finished mine and sent it in.  You have until July 31st, 2015 to get your ballot filled out and sent in.

So go to Sasquan.org, sign in, and fill out your ballot. Don't forget to click Save All Choices.

If you run a Script Blocker as part of your browser Security, you will need to authorize sasquan.org to run the script to register your ballot.

And don't forget if you haven't already, be sure to register for next years Con at MidAmerica Con II in Kansas City Missouri.

It took me several weeks to read through all the submissions for this years Hugo's and I was actually surprised I enjoyed Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu as much as I did. So you never know, you might find something in next years submission pack to turn you on to some new authors for your library.

Hugo Awards - Sasquan Registrants - Hugo Packet Available

If you registered for Sasquan this year to be eligible to vote for the Hugo Awards and have NOT recieved the e-mail with your Download Links to download the nominated works so you can "Honestly" vote for the award, the following link will take you there.

Sasquan Hugo Packet

You will need to sign in with your First, Last name and your Member number and PN Number.  If you cannot remember your PIN Number or can't find the e-mail with your PIN Number, they have a lookup tool to find your PIN, OR you can e-mail: hugopin@sasquan.org, with your information, to request your PIN Number.

It looks just from eyeballing the download links to be over 200 MB of stuff.  So if you Registered to vote in this years Hugo Awards, go get your packet, read the materials, and VOTE!!

And please, only vote on what you have Read/Reviewed.  To do otherwise is dishonest, hurtful and downright RUDE!

The Hugo Awards - Have you Registered for Sasquan to vote?

Are you an avid Science Fiction and Fantasy reader like I am? Would you like to be one of the people who help to choose the Hugo Awards? You can be.

Any person who registers for and pays for a Membership the World Science Fiction Society can nominate and vote on the works that are eligible for Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing's Premier Award, the Hugo Award.

This year World Con is being held at Sasquan, where the voting will take place. You don't have to be present to vote though. You can vote in person, via U.S. Postal Service Mail, or via E-mail.

As a Voting Member you will receive copies of the nominated works, so that you can read them for yourself and make your determination as to which ones you wish to vote for.

If you are interested you can buy a "Membership" for as little as $40.00.

Note that the $40.00 Membership is NOT for if you actually wish to attend Sasquan. However you are able to nominate and vote for any eligible/nominated works. If you do wish to attend, there is an additional Entry/Attending Fee. They do have payment plans available, if like me you are on a tight budget.

Even though I would love to go, I have kids still in school so in August when the Con is, I would be unable to go, as that would be during the first few weeks of school for my kids.

I DO however plan on Submitting my votes for the Hugo Awards.

In fact I plan on registering for next years Worldcon next month, although the Membership is $50.00 for it. That one, I probably might be able to attend, as I can make proper arrangements for my kids and I can save up the funds necessary to go.

So what about you?

Are you going to sign up?
