No
just kudos
and recognition.
There was a whole lot of spiel in Steve's introduction
about a similar award in the States which was hedged
about with all sorts of scruples on who could be
nominated -- the main effect being to disqualify most
non-US poets from being nominated [not saying that
this effect was the purpose for the rules]
Like I said
if you want to know more you'll have to write and ask
him
-- on another forum there was howls of laughter at the
idea of a leading sf author not having an internet
connection. It's as bad as thinking that people who
don't cars should stay at home and never go anywhere!
yours
Gerald
