Aurora Awards Updates for February 2024Eligibility Lists Close Soon
Depending on when you read this, the lists for this year’s works eligible to be nominated for the 2024 Aurora Awards closes soon. The lists will be closed at 11:59 pm EST on Saturday, February 24th.
Over the following week our eligibility team of volunteers will review all works that are still pending. If you see something that was missed, please email us. If it is not too late, we will try to add it.
Nominations Open in March
Nominations will open on Saturday, March 2nd. CSFFA members have until Saturday, April 6th at 11:59 pm EST to enter your choices. One special feature of the nomination process is that you can return as many times as you wish to add or modify your choices. After our deadline our webmaster will lock all nominations that members have entered.
For those new to the awards, you may enter up to five choices in each category. Each entry in a category must be unique. If you submit the same work more than once ALL of them will be voided. If you accidentally duplicate one you can always use the “blank” record that it at the top of each dropdown list. Please be careful and review your choices before you submit them. Nominate what you know and enjoyed.
Special request when you nominate or ask others to nominate
Please do NOT ask friends or family to get a membership to just nominate or vote (later) for your works if they are not SF/Fantasy fans. Members are encouraged to nominate in multiple categories. The awards are for fans of the genre. This is not a popularity contest to see who has the largest family.
We want people to get memberships who read Science Fiction, Fantasy, and/or Horror to help us determine the best works that were done last year.
