Welcome to the Aurealis Awards 2009

• Our judges are all at the ready to accept entries in this year's awards process - to enter works simply go here
   
• This year's judges have a wide variety of backgrounds - but one thing they all share is their passion and enthusiasm for speculative fiction in general - and Australian speculative fiction in particular. Find out more about this year's judges here
   
• The Fantastic Queensland management team has - as they do every year! - responded to feedback from the community. So, there have been a number of changes to the system. Be sure to read our updated rules and conditions and the FAQs before you enter - and as always - if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me, Ron Serdiuk, awards coordinator - at coordinator@aurealisawards.com
   
• Finalists will be announced on the website in early December 2009, and the winners announced at the Aurealis Awards ceremony at the Judith Wright Centre for Contemporary Arts in Brisbane on Saturday 23 January 2010. Come and join the celebrations!
