Tin Duck Awards 2013

The Tin Duck Awards are the science fiction achievement awards annually awarded in the Australian state of Western Australia. They are tied to the WA convention Swancon, which was the first stop in my GUFF trip. The Tin Duck Awards are not juried awards, since 1980, when the first one were presented at Swancon 5,  they have been voted on by members of the convention. I did not vote, as I was not familiar with any of the nominated work.
