NZ literary awards for sci-fi, fantasy and horror
TheSir Julius Vogel Awards are awarded each year at theNew Zealand National Science Fiction Convention to recognise achievement inNew Zealand science fiction ,fantasy ,horror , andscience fiction fandom . They are commonly referred to as theVogels .[citation needed
Sir Julius Vogel, 8th Prime Minister of New Zealand. The awards are named for SirJulius Vogel , a prominent New Zealand journalist and politician, who wasPremier of New Zealand twice during the 1870s. He also, in 1889, wrote what is widely regarded as New Zealand's first science fiction novel,Anno Domini 2000, or, Woman's Destiny [ 1] were all women, as was the CEO of one of the country's largest companies,Telecom .
National awards have been presented annually since 1989, but were initially simply known as theNew Zealand Science Fiction Fan Awards , and were originally aimed primarily at fandom rather than at professional science fiction. In these early years the awards were organised on an ad-hoc basis by the organising committees of the national conventions, though with the support of the former national fan organisation, theNational Association for Science Fiction which nominally ran the awards from 1993. In the early 1990s the awards were briefly known as the Edmund Bayne Awards, after a well-known Wellington fan who had been killed in a road accident, but this name was never formalised.
In 2002 the awards were revamped and reorganised, and since that time have been aimed more at the professional science fiction and fantasy community. The current name also dates to 2002. These changes accompanied a change in the organisation of the awards, which are now formally run by national organisationSFFANZ (the Science Fiction and Fantasy Association of New Zealand).
Categories change to some extent on an annual basis, but generally include professional awards for best novel, short story, dramatic presentation, and services to science fiction, as well as equivalent fan awards. Due to the size of New Zealand's science fiction, fantasy, and horror fiction communities, the awards cover all three of these frequently intertwined genres and attempt to treat each equally.
