The January email bulletin containing details of how to vote has gone out today to everyone who is a current BFS member. Emails inviting FantasyCon 2014 and 2015 attendees to vote are planned to follow from the organisers of those conventions.

If you’re a BFS member and you didn’t receive the bulletin, check your spam and bulk mail folders, and if you have no luck please contact the awards administrator and he will look into it.

Voting will end at midnight, 31 March 2015.

The planned schedule for this year’s awards is at present as follows:

January–March: voting

April: collation and checking of votes

May: appointment of juries

June: jury decisions on egregious omissions

July 1 (if all goes to plan): announcing shortlists

July: requesting reading copies

August–September: jurors’ reading period

October: awards presentation at FantasyCon 2015
