Aurora Award for Best Novel


The Aurora Awards are granted annually by the Canadian SF and Fantasy Association and SFSF Boreal Inc. The Award for Best Novel was first awarded in 1982 as the Award for Best Outstanding Work, and there are two awards, one granted to an English-language work and one to a French-language work. No winner was awarded in 1983 and 1986, but shortlists were created. Until 1989, it was dedicated to any works, including non-novel-length works. It became a dedicated category in 1989 as the Award for Best Long Form. It became the Award for Best Novel in 2011 when the Prix Aurora and Prix Boreal combined.
Robert J. Sawyer won the English-language award the most times, and Élisabeth Vonarburg has won the French-language award the most times.
