Also presented was the inaugural Star Bridge Award which recognizes those who contribute to the international promotion of Chinese sci-fi literature. It went to the team of Chinese and foreign publishers and translators — including Nozomi Omori and Yao Haijun — who helped promote the Hugo Award-winning novel The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin internationally, in particular for their promotion of the Japanese edition.

Another addition this year was the Best Science Fiction Game Idea award, which was given to Planet: Reboot by MMC Society.

The awards ceremony was originally scheduled to be held in Guanghan, Sichuan province in November, however, Covid-19 outbreaks delayed the awards several times, and led the organizers to finally change location, and resulted in several winners participating via video link.
