Voting for the World Fantasy Awards closes June 30. Though the World Fantasy Award is a juried award, two finalists in each category are chosen by the popular vote of the attendees of the World Fantasy Convention. So if you attended the World Fantasy Convention in San Jose in 2009 (and/or perhaps if you are already registered this year for the 2010 convention in Columbus), you are eligible to vote. (And if you are eligible to vote, you likely received “progress reports” from the convention with a paper ballot and instructions.)

You can nominate up to 5 works in each of the following categories:

Life Achievement, Novel, Novella (10,000 – 40,000 words), Short Fiction (under 10,000 words), Anthology, Collection, Artist, Special Award: Professional, and Special Award: Non-Professional. See the World Fantasy Awards page for more information.

Paper ballots must be postmarked by June 30, 2010, or else you can email your ballot to awards administrator Rodger Turner at rturner [at] arctera [dot] com.

Here’s a list of works I edited that are eligible in the various categories.
