Prix Aurora Awards
August 17th, 2007 by Editors
Presented by
Canadian science fiction fans
Method
The Auroras appear to be modeled closely on the Hugos, with the administering convention being the Canadian National Science Fiction Convention. There are nomination and final ballot stages. Nomination appears to be open to all Canadian citizens and permanent residents, but the final ballot is presumably limited to convention members.

The awards are stated to be for Canadian science fiction and fantasy, so presumably you have to be Canadian to be nominated.
