The 70 th World Science Fiction Convention Mike Resnick Author Peggy Rae Sapienza Fan Mission Dates: August 30 – September 3, 2012 Launch Site: Hyatt Regency Chicago We give you the Worldcon under one roof Mission Profile: www.chicon.org We choose to host a Worldcon. We choose to host a Worldcon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. Crew Roster Rowena Morrill Artist Jane Frank Agent Story Musgrave Astronaut John Scalzi Toastmaster PO Box 13 Skokie, IL 60076 “Worldcon,” “WSFS,” “World Science Fiction Convention,” and “World Science Fiction Society” are service marks of the World Science Fiction Society, an unincorporated literary society.
At-Con Newsletter Meredith Branstad Have you always wanted to yell Stop the Presses? Love the look of those little press badges in a hat band? Used to dream of taking over the red carpet coverage from Barbara Walters? Want to share all the fun you have at a Worldcon with everyone else? Maybe Newsletter is right for you! We’re looking for volunteer writers, photographers, editors, and interviewers to join our pack of Jackals on the newsletter staff. In addition to our print editions, we plan on creating a series of podcast interviews with our Guests of Honor, and anyone else we find interesting. While previous writing or editing experience is helpful, it is not required. A working knowledge of the English language and a willingness to go where the job takes you are all that is really needed. Of course, the ability to form coherent sentences at three in the morning is pretty helpful as well. If you are interested in working on the newsletter, but won’t be attending every day, don’t worry, we will gladly welcome guest columnists. If you want to volunteer on the newsletter staff or would like more information, please contact us at publications@renovationsf.org. We look forward to seeing you next year in Reno! The 2011 Hugo Award Nominations The Hugo Awards are given for excellence in the field of science fiction and fantasy. The nominees and winners are chosen by the members of the World Science Fiction Convention (“Worldcon”) for achievement in written fiction and non-fiction, art, editing, film and TV and fan activities. They were first awarded in 1953, and have been awarded every year since 1955. The 2011 Hugo Award nominations open on January 1st, 2011, and close Saturday, March 26th, 2011 at 23:59 PDT. Members of Renovation who join by January 31st, 2011 and all members of Aussiecon 4 (the prior year’s Worldcon), are invited to submit nominating ballots. Nominations may be submitted for works first published in 2010, or for those works whose first US/ English publication was in 2010. Nominations may be cast online at our website (www.renovationsf.org) or by mailing in the paper ballot included in this progress report. The online ballot requires a personal identification number (PIN) located on the mailing label of the progress report. If you need a PIN, email your name and mailing address to hugopin@renovationsf.org. You may nominate up to five persons or works in each category. Note that you are under no obligation to fill every blank line provided. You can list fewer then five items in a category and feel free to leave blank any categories with which you are unfamiliar. Please nominate early. You can revise and resubmit your ballot again if you change your mind later. Submitting early also helps to ensure you won’t run out of time near the deadline. Last year a record number of people showed their support for science fiction and fantasy by nominating. This year you can help Worldcon have an even stronger impact by nominating and encouraging others to participate in the 2011 Hugo awards. HUGO PIN Your Hugo Personal Identification Number (PIN) is used to nominate and vote online. If you are receiving printed progress reports your PIN is printed on the address label along with your membership number. The Hugo administration team will also send email notices and reminders with PIN and ballot information to members who have provided email addresses. If you need your PIN or have questions about the nomination process, please email hugopin@renovationsf.org for more information. Renovation PROGRESS REPORT THREE 21
