The SFWA site Nebula Awards Rules listing
My earlier post commented on the version at the Nebulas' site. no changes to my earlier comments, just a bit of changes to the language of the things I mentioned:
Highlights:
The Nebula Awards year will begin on January 1 and end on December 31 of the year for which awards will be presented.
No more script category.
At the author's request, a novella-length work published individually, rather than as a part of a collection, anthology, or other collective work, shall appear in the novel category.
ONLY for the 2009 Nebula Awards
Works which receive at least five (5) recommendations under the previous Nebula Awards ® rules and were published after July 1, 2008, but did not make the 2008 Preliminary Ballot shall be nominated per these rules during the nomination period, with the number of recommendations they received added to their total number of nominations. Members who recommended these works will not have their total number of allowed nominations reduced, but they may not nominate these works a second time. ABYSS & APEX has a story that got 7 nominations that was published in October 2007 - Tony Pi's "Metamorphoses in Amber." Read it here: http://www.abyssandapex.com/200710-amber.html
Works which received less than five (5) recommendations under the previous Nebula rules and were published after July 1, 2008, may be nominated per these rules during the nomination period. Recommendations will not be carried over.
Effective in 2009, the use of Nebula Juries shall be eliminated, and publishers are encouraged to make eligible works available to the membership.
It is anticipated by the Board that Associate members will be allowed to vote on the Nebula Final Ballot, once the new by-laws have been ratified by the membership.
