Heikki Nevala Wins Atorox 2010

Slowly recuperating from Finncon, so this is already old news. But better late than never: the Atorox award for best Finnish short story published in 2009 went to Heikki Nevala for his story Koneesta sinä olet syntyvä (“From a machine shall you be born”).

The top ten looks like this:
  1. Heikki Nevala: Koneesta sinä olet syntyvä (Portti 4/09)
  2. J. Pekka Mäkelä: Kolmekymmentä vuotta (Tähtivaeltaja 1/09)
  3. Anne Leinonen: Pienen rasian jumala (Portti 1/09)
  4. Tomi Jänkälä: Keskikesällä Harri (Usva 4/09)
  5. Petri Salin: Requiem sudelle (Portti 1/09)
  6. Timo Männikkö: Miekkaa mahtavampi (Portti 2/09)
  7. Marika Riikonen: Terveisiä älylliseltä elämältä (Tähtivaeltaja 4/09)
  8. Jussi Katajala: Lemminkäisen kuolema (Tuhansien zombien maa)
  9. Tomi Jänkälä: Veden vangit (Usva 2/09)
  10. Mika-Petri Lauronen: Mäyränä nummia tonkii (Portti 1/09)
The Atorox award is decided by a popular vote by fandom, and is given out by the Turku Science Fiction Society, this year for the 28th time.
