The BSFA Awards are given every year by the British Science Fiction Association. The Best Novel award is open to any novel-length work of science fiction or fantasy that has been published in the UK for the first time in the previous year. Serialised novels are eligible provided that the publication date of the concluding part is in the previous year. If a novel has been previously published elsewhere but it hasn’t been published in the UK until the previous year it is eligible.
