The announcement of a new Clarke Award shortlist is one of the most anticipated moments in the UK science fiction calendar. This year’s shortlist was chosen by judges from a selection of 97 eligible titles submitted by 40 UK publishing imprints and independent authors. The award is presented for the best science fiction novel of the year, and as such is selected from a list of novels whose UK first edition was published in the previous calendar year.
This year’s winning book will be revealed in August 2023. The winning author will receive a trophy in the form of a commemorative engraved bookend and prize money to the value of £2023.00; a tradition that sees the annual prize money rise incrementally by year from the year 2001 in memory of Sir Arthur C. Clarke.
The most epic exhibition in the galaxy, Science Fiction: Voyage to the Edge of Imagination, places visitors at the heart of an exciting science fiction adventure. Guided by an artificial intelligence of alien origin, board and explore a unique spaceship, scout an unknown planet, and investigate how scientists and science fiction creators have imagined and built new worlds to better understand our own.
Enter the giveaway by 10 July to be in with a chance to win all seven books.
