Aurora Award for Best Novelette/Novella

The Aurora Awards are granted annually by the Canadian SF and Fantasy Association and SFSF Boreal Inc.

The Award for Best Novella/Novelette was first awarded in 2021. It became a dedicated category, distinct from the Award for Best Novel and Award for Best Short Fiction, providing additional exposure for medium length sci-fi and fantasy literature, and represents writing with scope and word count between the two.

Derek Künsken won the first award for his 2020 novella/novelette "Tool Use by the Humans of Danzhai County".
