The deadline for nominations and voter registration is 1 January 2013. The list of nominees has slightly expanded since my last update. You should feel free to add nominations in the comments section below. Please do check the eligibility criteria.
You can register to vote by emailing us with your coordinates. I’ve mentioned before that registration guarantees you a right to a ballot, but that we will also be drawing up a list of people who will receive one regardless. Note that we do not respond to all registration emails. If you emailed us and do not get a ballot (we’ll announce when those go out), please let us know then.
I’ve reproduced the nominees below the fold. Don’t forget to check out my awards-related interview with SAGE.
