Congratulations to all, and particularly to R. Graeme Cameron who, for some reason, chose to be nominated for his work on his own magazine – Polar Borealis, rather than for his review work for Amazing Stories (that’s a non-serious comment btw).
Graeme has chosen, following his fifth win, to withdraw Polar Borealis from future consideration so that others may have a chance!
