Your 2011 Shel Dorf Awards Nominees



The second annual Shel Dorf Awards are asking for your vote. They're an awards program that was started last year in conjunction with the inaugural Detroit Fanfare show. They're named after Shel Dorf, a Detroit native and a longtime force in organized fandom usually associated with the early days and subsequent growth of Comic-Con International in San Diego.

The photos from last year's program indicates various themed awards are given out for lifetime achievement as well as the following awards by category for yearly work -- it could be that this is the first time those categorical awards are being offered, I can't all the way tell. The categories seem logically selected and "winning a Dorf" has an undeniable ring to it, so the program definitely has that going for it.
