Clarke Award Venue and Date
Oct. 31st, 2005 08:39 pmGood lord:
End of January - SciFi London
Mid February - Picocon
Late March - Eastercon
Mid May - Clarke Award
Normally, I think of these things as fairly separate, but next year, three of the four will be happening in the space of the same fortnight. (I also note that the 26th April would under normal circumstances be a BSFA meeting.) That's almost too much sf-related activity in one go even for me. Almost.
Also: at Sci-Fi London screenings, festival chairman Louis Savy has a habit of turning up with a bag of merchandise and throwing the contents into the audience with some gusto. I only hope we can expect the same committment to audience participation from the chairman of the Clarke Award.
The Arthur C. Clarke Award is excited to have entered into a new relationship with Sci-Fi London, which means that Britain's premier science fiction literary award is now associated with Britain's premier science fiction film festival.This sounds like a cool and exciting thing for the award, so three cheers! But also--talk about worlds colliding. My spring schedule of sf-related events for the last couple of years has roughly been:
As a consequence our Award ceremony has a new home, the prestigious Apollo Cinema on Lower Regents Street, just off Piccadilly.
Important note: the new date for the ceremony is:
Wednesday 26th April 2006
End of January - SciFi London
Mid February - Picocon
Late March - Eastercon
Mid May - Clarke Award
