My sister did the children's book awards one year…if someone really hates a book, sometimes a book or books that the other judges loved will be rejected in favour of one they can all agree was sound.

However, I still think that awards are a very valuable contribution to the literary world even if the most brilliant book didn't win when someone dug in their heels. It is always a tremendous honour to be nominated.

Hendo: A losers' party only works if there is a winner's party!! lol…

Me, I'm just one happy writer, no matter what happens…

Heaven knows The Last Stormlord is a winner, but of course it all boils down to who likes what. A friend of mine who has been a judge says that sometimes there is an argument over the winner and neither side will give in, so the win goes to the third placegetter! From what I've heard, this is not uncommon in awards and competitions with more than one judge. But fingers crossed for you this time, Glenda.

Do they have an Aurealis Losers Party like the Hugos? (Although I think its now the 'Nominees' party…)
