Variety SF Feed (What is this?)
Looking for free fiction, good stories, funny stories, recent fiction, or best of 2013? More options on side bar.
Found a broken link? May be the story can still be found.
Actually, his nominations for Nebula Awards 2009 (to be given sometime in 2010 to stories published in the US during later half of 2008 & during 2009) - so I suppose this is also his "best of 2009" list.

He's seeking "preliminary judges" who will "help screen the nominations and select the list of notable stories of the year." He will then "select a group of judges". I'm not sure if it's a volunteer effort or a paid one.
Last year's award page links to some 2007 online stories that were judged worthy.
PS: I've'nt read any yet.
Award is instituted by storySouth, an online free-access magazine I'd seen before but never read. It features fiction of authors from Southern states of US. "Special emphasis is given to finding and promoting the works of promising new writers." It's described as a "literary journal"; I'm not sure if they don't include sf.
For authors: Winner gets an "overall prize of $300" & some additional exposure, so what have you got to lose by doing what it takes to get nominated if you think you've published a good story online last year?
Caution: I'm not sure if the nominations are open to anyone, rather than just residents of the Southern states of US?
