Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Prometheus Award is an award for libertarian science fiction novels given annually by the Libertarian Futurist Society. L. Neil Smith established the award in 1979, but it was not awarded regularly until the newly founded Libertarian Futurist Society revived it in 1982. The Society created a Hall of Fame Award (for classic works of libertarian science fiction, not necessarily novels) in 1983, and also presents occasional one-off Special Awards.

Multiple recipients

Some authors have won the award for best novel more than once:

Thrice

Twice

A few authors have won the Prometheus Hall of Fame award more than once:

Process

Books published in a given year are eligible (although books from the last few months of the previous year are also eligible if it is felt that they have been overlooked).

  1. All members may nominate novels for the award.
  2. Members of the Best Novel Committee read at least 10-12 of the nominated novels and vote for a slate of 5 finalists.
  3. Full members (a higher price tier of membership) then vote on the finalists.

Step 2 happens in the first few months of the following year.

Step 3 happens in early summer of the following year.

The awards are given at the Annual Worldcon.
