The 2013 Aurora Award nominations are open through April 15. Canadian sf or fantasy works produced in 2012 are eligible for nomination.

There are seven Aurora categories for professional achievements, including the new one for YA Novels, and four for fan achievements.

Members of the Canadian SF and Fantasy Association (CSFFA) may nominate works for an Aurora Award. Any Canadian citizen or landed immigrant may join CSFFA by paying annual dues.

Once nominations are finalized members will have access to the voter package with e-versions of the nominees. Voting is scheduled to begin May 6 and conclude August 26.

The Aurora Awards will be presented at CanCon (www.can-con.org) in October.
