The panel sat, the panel judged. Steve Aylett won. Here's his own press release"
Steve Aylett has won the Prix Jack Trevor Story (or Jack Trevor Story
Memorial Award).
The Jack Trevor Story Memorial Award is given occasionally for a work
of fiction or body of work which best celebrates the humorous spirit
of Jack Trevor Story (Live Now Pay Later, Morag's Flying Fortress, The
Wind in the Snotty Gobble Tree, The Trouble With Harry), who died in
1992.
As well as the traditional cup, a cash prize is awarded. The
conditions of the prize are that the money shall be spent in a week to
a fortnight and the author have nothing to show for it at the end of
that time. Aylett, author of LINT, SLAUGHTERMATIC and the newly
released FAIN THE SORCERER, says "Other than humour and imagination, I
think the Prize is index-linked to authors who, no matter how many
books they have published and in print, manage to have no money or
exist in massive debt. Amazon's 'Buy Used' facility means more authors
than ever meet this criteria. I just put money on a table and watch as
it becomes gauzy and then disappears. I'll enjoy watching the Prize
evaporate."
The jury consisted of Mr John Coulthart(UK), M. Jean-Luc Fromental
(France), Mr Michael Moorcock (UK), Mr Martin Stone (France) and Mr
Jeff VanderMeer (USA).
