The Fan Fund of Australia and New Zealand (FFANZ) is accepting nominations for the 2015 race. This time around FFANZ will send an Australian fan to the NZ Natcon next April, Reconnaissance in Rotorua. (Which was quite a lovely place when I visited in 1985!)

Aspiring candidates should prepare a brief letter stating their intent to run for FFANZ 2015, identify a nominator and seconder, and write a platform of no more than 100 words stating their reasons and qualifications being the delegate, then send these to Dan Rabarts <[email protected]> by November 2.

The FFANZ winner will be expected to travel to New Zealand and attend Reconnaissance, and administer and replenish the fund until replaced (which normally happens when the succeeding NZ-bound delegate takes over.)
