Everyone likes to nominate things for awards, right? Well, have you nominated stuff for this one yet? They extended the deadline just for you.

The Carl Brandon Society has extended the deadline for nominating works for the Carl Brandon Parallax Award and the Carl Brandon Kindred Award; two juried awards recognizing excellence in speculative fiction by or about people of colour. Each award comes with a $1,000 prize. The awards will be presented at Wiscon 30, to be held May 26-29, 2006 in Madison, Wisconsin, USA.

The CBS Parallax Award will go to a work of speculative fiction in English, written by a person of colour. Nominees may be asked to provide a brief statement self-identifying as a person of colour. Statements should be sent to the awards administrator. CBS Parallax Award Jury: Celu Amberstone; Steven Barnes; MJ Hardman; Karin Lowachee; Jennifer Stevenson

New deadline for nominations: March 15, 2006
