The shortlist for the initial Ursula K. Le Guin Prize has been announced. The winner will be named on October 21st, Le Guin’s birthday.

Like the Dragon Awards, the Le Guin Prize has a split eligibility period, running from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2022. Of this year’s finalists, only the titles by Nagamatsu and Ravn were published in 2022; the others are from 2021.

The titles by Adrian Tchaikovsky and Catherynne M. Valente are currently finalists for the Hugo Award, as novellas.

Darcie Little Badger’s book has received six other nominations this year, has won the Andre Norton Award, and is pending for three in addition to the Le Guin. With a total of 7 nominations to date, the book is the second-most nominated book published in 2021; P. Djeli Clark’s A MASTER OF DJINN (not a Le Guin finalist) leads with 8 nominations, including wins for Nebula, Locus, and Compton Crook.

These are the first nominations for any award for the titles by Zhang, Bell, Ravn, Bajaber, Nagamatsu, and Keil.

Finalists for this year’s Dragon Awards, voted by members of each year’s Dragon Con, have been announced. Winners will be announced on September 5th at the convention in Atlanta.

Last year’s winners included Andy Weir, Jim Butcher, T. Kingfisher, Larry Correia & John D. Brown, and Eric Flint & Charles E. Gannon.

Note that unlike virtually all other awards, the eligibility period for the Dragon Awards runs from the middle of one year (in this case 2021) to the middle of the next. Thus among novel categories this year, 16 of 40 titles were published in 2022 — with one of the others, Vonda N. McIntyre’s The King’s Daughter, first published in 1997 as The Moon and the Sun, winning a Nebula Award the following year.
