Asimov's 2002 Readers' Award Ballot

The January issue is out again, the start of another new year, and as our long-time readers know, that means that once again it’s time for our Readers’ Award poll. Please vote. Your ballot will be automatically entered in our drawing for a free one-year subscription.

We consider this to be our yearly chance to hear from you, the readers of the magazine. That’s the whole point behind this particular award. What were your favorite stories from Asimov’s Science Fiction last year? This is your chance to let us know what novella, novelette, short story, poem, cover artist, and interior artist you liked best in 2002. List below, in the order of your preference, your three favorites in each category.

Only material from 2002-dated issues of Asimov’s is eligible (no other years, no other magazines, even our sister magazine Analog). Each reader gets one vote, and only one vote. Be sure to include your name and address; your ballot won’t be counted otherwise.

Votes must be submitted no later than February 1, 2003. (extended to February 10th)

Remember, you–the readers–will be the only judges for this award. No juries, no panels of experts. You are in charge here, and what you say goes. In the past, some categories have been hotly contended, with victory or defeat riding on only one or two votes, so every vote counts. Don’t let it be your vote for your favorite stories that goes uncounted! Don’t put it off–vote today!
