The year of 1997 is coming to an end,
and we are left with a stream of fine
memories from another season in the
company of the best scene computer on
the face of this earth - the C64.

Many people were part of making the year
of 1997 a successful one, and we feel
it is appropriate of us to honour their
contributions to the scene with a price
of recognition.

    The price being in the form of:
     THE 1997 GOLDEN SCENER AWARD!

The nominations for this prestigious
award will be made by YOU, the readers
of PROPAGANDA.

Everyone is more than welcome to take
part in selecting the finest of groups
and individuals in the C64 scene this
year, and all you basically have to do,
is to send us your choice of nominations
in the following categories:

  DEMO GROUP - PROGRAMMER - GRAPHICIAN

  MUSICIAN - CRACKING GROUP - CRACKER

    FIXING GROUP - FIXER - MAGAZINE

    MAGAZINE EDITOR - INTERNET SITE

             BULLETIN BOARD

Each voter is permitted to vote for one
person/group in each category - and it
is up to you, which categories you
choose to vote in.

You are not allowed to vote for yourself
or members of your group. Voting for
PROPAGANDA and members of its staff is
also prohibited.

E-mail your votes TO : HYLKE@HOTMAIL.COM

It is time once again for the annual
computer event known as THE PARTY, held
in the Christmas holidays in Denmark.
This time it is known as the seventh of
its kind.

THE PARTY VII will be taking place in
the city of Aars in the Northern part of
Jutland, Denmark. The event will begin
at 9AM on the 27th of December, and end
at 3PM on the 29th of December.

As usual thousands of computer
enthusiasts will meet up to be part of
this huge party - many from the C64 too.

Finding the location of the party is
quite simple. Just make your way to the
city of Aalborg - which is about 3O
miles from Aars - and from there you
should have no problem either taking a
bus or a taxi to the place of the event.

The party arrangers may also be setting
up special busses, which will take you
directly to the party location, but we
have no confirmation of that at present
time. They normally do though, so there
should be no transportation problems
for any potential visitors.

       THE PARTY VII in Denmark.

Have fun - and show the world, the C64
is still alive and kicking.
