Got the latest Anticipation Progrerss Report (Rapport préparatoire) in the mail today. Included was the Hugo & John W. Campbell Nominating Ballot (Bulletin de monination pour les prix Hugo et Joun W. Campbell de 2009), which I had the privilege of designing. I believe it's the first fully bilingual ballot (Nippon had separate ones, and I won't make the obvious jokes about about the UK and Australia).
The French text was provided to me by the fine folks at Anticipation, and it was an interesting excercise in layout. It was the first time I'd seen it in printed form (thank Ghu for pdfs!), and I have to say it looks pretty damn good.
The pdf is available for download here, and there should be an online ballot in the near future. Nominate well; I want to have a great list of works to format for the final ballot.
I have to admit I did try to sneak a little bit of fun in. In the form where the voter fills out their information, I had changed "Name/Nom" to "Name/Om nom," but it was spotted during the proofing stage, damn it.
