The
BSFA Awards
are prizes given every year by the
British Science Fiction Association
(BSFA). The prize is for excellent works of
science fiction
. The first BSFA Award was given in 1970. Prizes are given for works from the year before the award is given. At first, the award was only for novels. Categories for short works and artwork were added in 1980. Awards for media were given from 1979 to 1992. In 2002, the BSFA Award started to be given for nonfiction too.
Members of the BSFA vote for the
nominees
who may win an award and then for the final winners. Recently members of
Eastercon
also vote.
