BSFA Awards shortlists, 2006
The shortlists below have been selected by the members of the British Science Fiction Association; they are those eligible works with the most nominations. The full list of works nominated can be found on this page. The Novel, Short Fiction and Artwork categories will be voted for by members of the BSFA and Contemplation, the 2007 Eastercon.
