The Aurealis Awards 2009 are for works of speculative fiction by authors, editors and illustrators, who are Australian citizens or permanent residents , first published in English between 1 November 2008 and 31 October 2009.
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.
We encourage everyone to use the electronic entry form as it is the quickest and most efficient entry method. There is also a word version/pdf of the entry form if you’d rather submit a hard copy by fax or post.
By entering a work in the Aurealis Awards process, you undertake to supply a copy of the work to each of the judges of the relevant category/categories, i.e. you’ll need to supply five copies of the work in each category entered.
Works may be entered in more than one category, but we encourage you to only choose the most relevant, rather than make across-the-board, blanket entries.
From 2009, Aurealis Awards judges will accept some electronic entries of short fiction (up to ten thousand words) from small press publishers, if the financial burden of supplying our judges with hard copy is too great. Entering stories electronically will require the submission of both a word document and a pdf of entries to the awards’ coordinator for distribution to the relevant judges.
For more details about rules and eligibility, please read the rules and conditions (link) and visit the FAQs.
The Aurealis Awards always aim to be as inclusive as possible. If you are aware of any work that should be entered in the 2009 process but which does not appear on the list of entries please contact the coordinator with details so we can encourage the author/publisher to enter it.
