Now in its 29th year, the award is THE Science Fiction Prize in the UK with the winner receiving a cheque for £2,015 and media partnership from SFX Magazine. The winner will be announced on Wednesday 6th May at an exclusive award ceremony held at Foyles Bookshop, London, and taking place as part of the activities leading up to the SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival.
