While I was writing the blog post on the BSFA, I suddenly realized that I hadn't announced the results of the awards. So here they are:
The BSFA Awards for the best works in 2008 were presented at Eastercon, the 60th British National Science Fiction Convention, in Bradford, England.
The BSFA awards are presented annually by the British Science Fiction Association, based on a vote of BSFA members and – in recent years – members of the British national science fiction convention.
Best Novel: Ken MacLeod; The Night Sessions
Best Short Fiction: Ted Chiang; "Exhalation"
Best Non-fiction: Farah Mendlesohn; Rhetorics of Fantasy
Best Artwork: Andy Bigwood for the cover of Subterfuge
It's Ken MacLeod's second consecutive award, and his third altogether; he won for Best Novel (The Sky Road in 2000, and for his short story "Lighting Out" last year.
Farah Mendelsohn previously won in 2004 for "Reading Science Fiction."
Andy Bigwood won his second consecutive award for Best Artwork.
Ted Chiang wins his first award at the second attempt.
