NAFF Race!
Welcome to the NAFF race for 2010. The National Australian Fan Fund (NAFF) was created to assist fans to travel across Australia to attend the National Science Fiction Convention (Natcon).
NAFF assists fans to travel to the Natcon and covers the costs of airfares and accommodation. A convention membership is donated by the Natcon. This year’s NAFF race is to the 49th Australian Natcon, Dudcon, which will be held in conjuction with Aussiecon4, the World Science Fiction Convention in Melbourne over the 2nd to 6th September, 2010. Fans residing in all states and territories of Australia, except Victoria, are eligible to be nominated for NAFF.
To be on the ballot, each interested fan must be nominated by three fans, including at least one from their own state/territory and provide a bond of $20. In addition, each nominated fan is required to provide a 100 word (max) description indicating what they could bring to interstate fans and a brief description of their past experience in fandom. It is expected that the winner will produce a report of their trip, engage in fundraising to support future NAFF races, and to help administer the NAFF race for the following two years.
Nominations can be sent to NAFF at fanboy@gmail.com or given in person to one of the NAFF representatives at any one of the many functions you might find them. The year’s NAFF administrators are Sue Ann Barber (VIC), Emma Hawkes (WA) and Grant Watson (VIC). For more information please contact Grant Watson at fanboy@gmail.com. Previous unsuccessful applicants are welcome to re-nominate. Please pass this information on to any friends who may be interested. If any nominees or nominators are unknown directly to the administrators we may contact you for further information.
Nominations must be received by Wednesday 28 April 2010. Voting opens Friday 30th April. The voting period concludes on Monday 14 June 2010.
Please make all cheques payable to NAFF or National Australian Fan Fund. Please email if you would like to pay via direct deposit or paypal. Remember to include your cheque / money order and to attach your nomination platform! For news as it happens, keep an eye on the Australasian Science Fiction Fan Funds community on Livejournal.
