Note: Sub-Genre Award (Science Fiction). Presented by the British Science Fiction Association (BSFA) to honor works chosen based on a vote of BSFA members. More recently, members of the Eastercon convention have also been eligible to vote. Novels must be published in the UK, but short fiction may appear anywhere. BSFA awards are given for the year of eligibility, not the year of presentation, e.g. the 2006 awards were given for items published in 2006. Per Wikipedia, timelines for award categories are: • Best Artist - 1979 to 1994 • Best Artwork - 1995 to ongoing • Best Media - 1978 to 1992 • Best Non-Fiction - 2001 to ongoing • Best Novel - 1969 to ongoing • Best Short Fiction - 1980 to ongoing Awards are listed by year of eligibility.
