previously-published work shall not be eligible.
4. Works must be in either the Science Fiction or the Fantasy genres. The Nebula Award Report Editor will decide
the eligibility of a questionable work, subject to appeal to the Nebula Awards Committee.
5. Works are eligible whether or not their authors are members of the Science Fiction Writers of America. Works are
eligible whether or not they have been previously published outside the United States of America.
6. The author of any eligible work may withdraw it from consideration in a given year and request that a later
edition be considered for the Nebula, but only in two specific cases: (a) if it appeared as a limited edition
publication, or (b) if the author finds the published version unacceptable as the result of editorial changes or
production errors.
The Nebula Award Report editor shall decide whether or not to allow a withdrawal, subject to appeal to the Nebula
Awards Committee.
7. Withdrawals
a. An author must present a written request for withdrawal to the Nebula Award Report editor within 30 days after
the publication of the first Nebula Awards Report following publication of the work.
b. For a later edition of a withdrawn work to be eligible, the author must present a written request for reinstatement
of eligibility to the Nebula Award Report editor.
c. Recommendations shall not be accepted for a work withdrawn from eligibility, nor shall recommendations on file
for any such work be carried over to the future.
d. An author may permanently withdraw a work from eligibility by delivering a written request to the Nebula
Award Report editor. No work so withdrawn shall ever again be eligible for the Nebula.
8. All active members of SFWA in good standing are entitled to make recommendations and may vote on award
ballots.
9. Works may not be recommended by their authors, editors, publishers, or any other party with a monetary
interest in the work.
10. The SFWA President shall appoint a Nebula Award Report editor to compile, publish, and distribute to members
a list of recommendations of works to be considered for the awards at intervals during the award year.
11. At the end of the Nebula Award year, the Nebula Award Report editor will issue a Preliminary Nebula Ballot.
All works receiving ten (10) or more recommendations during their period of eligibility shall be placed on the
Preliminary Ballot in their appropriate categories. The Preliminary Ballot must be mailed to active members no
later than January 15.
12. Members will nominate no more than five works in each category on the Preliminary Ballot. These ballots shall
be returned to the Nebula Award Report editor or independent agent (as indicated on the ballot) before the
Preliminary Ballot closing date, which will be not less than 28 days after the date of distribution of the Preliminary
Ballot. The five works in each category receiving the most nominations will be placed on a Final Ballot.
13. The Final Ballot will be published and distributed by the Nebula Award Report editor to all active members
within fourteen (14) days after the Preliminary Ballot closing date.
14. Members will cast numerically ranked votes for works on the Final Ballot, writing 1 for the first choice in each
category, 2 for the second, and so on; or, instead of ranked votes for nominated works, members may vote for "No
Award." If any ranked vote is cast in a category, a vote for "No Award" in the same category will be disregarded.
Members may leave any category completely unmarked; their ballots will only be counted in categories in which
they have cast ranked votes or voted for "No Award."
15. Votes for "No Award" will be counted before ranked votes are counted. If forty (40) percent or more of the ballots
received in a particular category received are marked only for "No Award," then no Nebula Award will be given in
that category and votes in that category will not be counted.
16. Ranked votes for nominated works are counted by the "Australian ballot" method defined in this paragraph. On
the first count of ranked votes for nominated works in a category, only first-ranked choices are counted. If any work
is the first choice of a majority of the ballots cast for works in that category, it is declared the winner of the Nebula
Award for that category. If no work has received a majority of first-ranked votes on the first count, additional counts
will be made, as follows: The work which received the lowest number of best-ranked votes on the latest previous
count is removed from further contention. Each ballot cast for the removed work is now counted for the work, still
