Paul Kincaid resigns from the Clarkes
24/07/2006 . Source: Jessica Martin 
The Arthur C. Clarke Award has appointed a new administrator as Paul steps down. This follows the recent resignation of Paul Kincaid, the previous Administrator and Chairman of the Jury, who held the position for eleven years and was involved in the initial creation of the award.
Following Paul's resignation the Serendip Foundation, the managing body of the Award, opted to split the existing role into two new parts.
Tom Hunter has now joined the Serendip Foundation as the new Award Adminstrator. He joins Paul Billinger who recently stepped up to the role of Chairman of the Jury.
Although relatively new to the wider science fiction and fandom communities, Tom has previously been involved with the creation and promotion of sf events in the UK and he is the current editor of Matrix: the news magazine of the British Science Fiction Association.
Tom says: 'It's a great honour to be asked to take on this role and I'm grateful to both Paul Kincaid and the Serendip Foundation for the opportunity to become involved.'
He added: 'The strength of this year's shortlist and the success of the ceremony, in partnership with the Sci-Fi-London film festival, shows that the Award not only continues to stand as a vital part of the UK's Science Fictional landscape but that it plays an equally vital role in the sf community too. It is perhaps these futures, as well as those depicted in the nominated books, that continue to draw the support that has kept the Award popular, recognised and influential.'
