It is now officially the end of the year season, which means you no longer have an excuse: it’s time to start nominating for the BSFA Awards. The eligibility criteria are here. General points to note are:
- Science fiction, fantasy, and any other speculative works are eligible.
- You can nominate as many works in each category as you want. The works with the highest number of nominations go forward to the shortlist.
- The deadline for nomination is midnight on Saturday 13th January 2007. That’s a fortnight tomorrow.
The nominations so far are here and copied below. Note that a consequence of point 2 is that just because something is on this list doesn’t mean you don’t have to nominate it — works on this list may have only received one nomination. You should email your nominations to BSFA.Awards@gmail.com.
