Revision as of 22:02, 14 April 2023
In 1973, Novacon instituted the annual Nova Awards to celebrate achievement in British science fiction fanzines. Originally decided by a panel of judges, voting was subsequently extended to all Novacon members who could demonstrate a basic knowledge of current fanzines.
Following Novacon 32, the three categories - best fanzine, best fanzine writer, best fanzine artist - were extended to cover fanzines produced in Ireland. In addition, electronic fanzines are now eligible.
Beginning with the 2011 Nova Awards, voting was extended to all UK / Irish residents who have read at least six qualifying fanzines published during the eligibility period.
The award was suspended in 2015 and no further awards will be presented other than occasional Special Novas.
| Year | Best Fanzine | Notes |
|---|
Starting in 1981, two additional awards were given for Best Fan Writer and Artist.
| Award | 1973—2014 |
