AUREALIS BOOK AWARD
for science fiction, fantasy and horror writing

The Aurealis Awards for Excellence in Australian Speculative Fiction were established in 1995 by Chimaera Publications, the publishers of Aurealis magazine, to recognise the achievements of Australian science fiction, fantasy and horror writers. There were originally four divisions: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Young Adult. Within each division there is a Best Novel Award and Best Short Story Award.
The Young Adult category covers all three genres and in 2001 the Children's division was added, with sections for Long and Short Fiction.
