For southern fandom. One new recipient for 2013 (Robert Jordan), but only according to Wikipedia; the scenic-city.com linked official site is defunct.

http://www.sfadb.com/Phantastik_Preis
Results for 2010 through 2013. More appeals to Google, and Amazon sites (including “Look Inside” previews to examine copyright pages). It seems Fforde’s Irgendwo ganz anders = First Among Sequels; Gaiman’s Der lächelnde Odd und die Reise nach Asgard = Odd and the Frost Giants; Iain M. Banks’ Welten = Transition, and Banks’ Krieg der Seelen = Surface Detail. I think. Let me know if you know otherwise.
And, the Phantastik site is difficult to navigate; no obvious link to find recent awards results. (Some on the homepage, others via archive links.) I take this to heart; does locusmag.com provide an easy link to the Locus Awards? sfadb.com does, but perhaps not locusmag.com. I shall work on this.
80 new and updated pages.

http://www.sfadb.com/Lord_Ruthven_Awards
These are awards for vampire novels and nonfiction. Added results for 2013 and 2014. The official site is woefully out of date; results taken from Locus Magazine’s coverage of the annual ICFA conferences, where the awards are announced.

This award, for an unpublished writer whose winning story will be published in Interzone, has become intermittent. There were no results in 2013.

http://www.sfadb.com/Italia_Awards
Added results for 2010 through 2014. Again, as with previous awards, only the ‘international’ categories are compiled here, though we’ve provided links to the complete results on the award’s home site.
Compiling these non-English language awards involves appeals to Google Translate and various Amazon sites, and sometimes raw Google searches, to be sure which titles in those languages relate to the original English language titles. Cory Doctorow’s Italian novel X, for example, turns out to be the translation of Little Brother.
These Italia results include wins for [translations of] an obscure E.C. Tubb novel from 1959, and a Star Trek novel from 2010. Other winners include titles by Charles Stross, Ted Chiang, and Ursula K. Le Guin.
