According to Candra Gill, member of the Carl Brandon Society Steering Committee, the 2006 award was delayed for administrative reasons. The Society plans to present the 2008 and 2009 awards in the coming year, and nominations for the 2009 Carl Brandon Society Awards are now open to the public.
The awards will be presented at a ceremony at Arisia, to be held January 15-18, 2010 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
