Smithee Awards at File 770!

If you'd like to read a little about the history and highlights of the Smithee Awards, Kevin Hogan was invited to do a write-up at Hugo-Award winning science fiction blog File 770. I am unforgivably late in linking here, but please check it out for a blast from the past!

Ye U.LTRA M.EGA M.ETAs

What is more delicious than deciding the winner of the past 5 Smithees in a crazy MegaMeta ceremony? How about the winners of the past 5 *MegaMetas*? For those of you counting at home, this past June we ran MegaMeta5 at Origins and you voted for the final winners. Now we officially have 5 MegaMetas in the can.

And you thought it was hard to vote for the best of the best…this October in Ann Arbor and June in Columbus you can experience voting for the best of the best of the best. I do not envy the choices our Smitheeite audience will be facing.

Come join us for the event of a lifetime (or at least until we cycle through the next 5 MegaMetas)

Steins and T-Shirts and Mugs -- Oh, My!

And tote-bags, too! At long last, we have a version of the long-awaited T-Shirt storefront! A selection of Smithee Awards merchandise is ready for your perusing and purchasing pleasure right here at CafePress. Choose from a variety of items--such as T's, sweats, mugs, tank-tops, jerseys, track suits, and more--in a variety of styles, all emblazoned with a new, snazzy, and stylized logo cooked up by our own Matthew Quirk. Now you, too, can wear the same shirts as the Smith-ka-teers (well, perhaps not the same ones, although some of us might let you) and join us as we yell, "I Stayed Up To Watch The End of THIS?"
