This page lists the finalists for the Theodore
Sturgeon Memorial Award for best short science fiction by year of
publication; the Award is presented during the Campbell Conference Awards Banquet at the
University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas,
as the focal point of a weekend of discussions about the writing, illustration,
publishing, teaching, and criticism of science fiction. We
hope to release lists of finalists for as many previous Awards as possible, so check
back for updates. Finalists are listed alphabetically by author's last name.
When results are final, this page is updated to show the winning story
highlighted in white.
