Uncanny Magazine 2024 Award Eligibility

It’s the time of year when people post their year-in-reviews to remind voters what they might have missed, and (especially for the Hugo Awards and Nebula Awards) in which categories those stories are eligible for the different SF/F awards. Last year was the tenth full year of Uncanny Magazine (Issue 56 through Issue 61). We are extremely proud of the year we had.

This year, Uncanny Magazine is still eligible for the Best Semiprozine Hugo Award. Lynne M. Thomas and Michael Damian Thomas are also still eligible for the Best Editor (Short Form) Hugo Award for editing issues 56–61. (Note: If you are nominating the Thomases in this category, please continue to nominate them together. They are a co-editing team.)

The stories listed below are eligible in either the short story, novelette, or novella categories of the SF/F awards. If you are a SFWA member nominating for the Nebula Awards, you can find eBook copies of these stories in the SFWA Forums.

Please also note that essays are eligible for the Best Related Work Hugo Award, and poetry is eligible for both the Rhysling Award and the Hugo Award this year. As Uncanny is a semiprozine, all of the essays and original art also contribute towards the creators’ Best Fan Writer and Best Fan Artist Hugo Award eligibility.
