SF Canada, Canada's association of professional speculative fiction writers, and the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association are pleased to announce the SF Canada Award, a $500 prize that will be awarded annually to winners of the Best Novel category of the Aurora and Aurora-Boreal Awards, voted on each year by Canadian fans of speculative fiction to acknowledge the best of Canadian professional and fan activity in both official languages.
The first SF Canada Award will be awarded to the winner of the Aurora-Boreal Award, for best fantasy and/or science fiction novel published first in French in 2010 by a Canadian author, at the 28th Congrès Boréal in Montréal, May 13, 2011.
The second award, for the winner of the Aurora Award for best fantasy and/or science fiction novel published in English in 2010 by a Canadian author, will be presented at SFContario 2, November 18-20, 2011, in Toronto.
Since 1981, the Prix Aurora Awards have been nominated and voted on each year by the members of the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association (CSFFA), a federally incorporated non-profit society which exists to promote quality Canadian speculative fiction and the fan activity that surrounds it. Membership in the CSFFA is free, and open to any admirer of genre fiction who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
SF Canada was founded in 1989 as Canada's National Association of Speculative Fiction in order to foster a sense of community among Canadian writers of speculative fiction, to improve communication, to foster the growth of quality writing, to lobby on behalf of Canadian writers, and to encourage the translation of Canadian speculative fiction.
