SFSFC Awards SMOFCon Scholarships
Oct. 21st, 2005 12:18 pmWe actually made the decision on these awards back in September, but there was a delay in getting an acceptance confirmation. We obviously couldn't announce them, or even tell the other applicants they hadn't won, until we got confirmations from all the winners.
( Press release text; many of you will have seen this elsewhere if my press-release announcements list is working )
I'm pleased we were able to present these scholarships again, and hope we do so next year as well. I know I find SMOFCon valuable, and I think it's an important thing to encourage people to learn how others run their conventions. We get better conventions when we're communicating with each other, and not just by e-mail, LJ, etc. There's still value in in-person meetings.
