BSFA Awards

March 22nd, 2008 by Editors

The British Science Fiction Association has announced the winners of this year’s awards. The results are as follows:

  • Novel: Brasyl, Ian McDonald
  • Short Fiction: “Lighting Out”, Ken MacLeod
  • Artwork: “Cracked World” (the cover of disLocations, ed. by Ian Whates), Andy Bigwood

Because this year is the 50th anniversary of the BSFA they decided to also make a special award for the best novel of 1958. The winner was Non-Stop by Brian Aldiss. Brian was unable to accept the award in person as he is the Permanent Guest of Honor at ICFA, which was taking place the same weekend. However, the ICFA attendees managed to keep the secret all afternoon and a special presentation was made to Brian at the ICFA Awards Banquet.
