QC RESULTS
Jul. 16th, 2009 05:50 pmI just came from the bidding session at QC. The main contenders were Monash, Perth and Woollongong universitiesa for 2010. There were two roundsd of voting and Monash was eliminated in the first round. The second round was a tie (62 to 62), so there was a third round where people were were asked to go go to one side of the room or the other to indicate their support.
<Photo 1>This was a difficult position for me, as I have relatives and friends in Perth but that I'd never been to Woollongong and wanted to go. I ended up sitting in the middle (and a few people left). The final vote was Woollongong 62, and Perth 60, so Woollongong is hosting QC for next year.
I'm pleased with this - Woollongong has had trouble with the uni administration of late, and this will support them greatly. I also look forward to doing it all again next year.
Don't know yet who's going to do Querelle (I did it back in 2006). This year's magazine was really well done, and the bidding is at 6:15pm, but I'll be waiting here in the Queer Space to pick up my artwork.
