 THE NEBULA AWARDS




The Nebula Awards Awards are voted on, and presented by, active members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy
Writers of America, Inc. Founded as the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1965 by Damon Knight, the
organization began with a charter membership of 78 writers; it now has over 1,000 members, among them most of
the leading writers of science fiction and fantasy.
Lloyd Biggle, Jr., the SFWA's first secretary-treasurer, originally proposed in 1965 that the organization publish
an annual anthology of the best stories of the year. This notion, according to Damon Knight in his introduction to
Nebula Award Stories: 1965 (Doubleday, 1966) "rapidly grew into an annual ballot of SFWA's members to choose
the best stories, and an annual awards banquet."
Since 1965, the Nebula Awards have been given each year for the best novel, novella, novelette, and short story
eligible for that year's award. An anthology including the winning pieces of short fiction and several runners-up is
also published every year. The Nebula Awards Banquet, which takes place each spring, is attended by many writers
and editors and is preceded by meetings and panel discussions.
In addition to the Nebulas Awards(tm), SFWA gives out other awards, including the Grand Master Award, the
Author Emeritus, and the Bradbury Award.
