Aurora Award for Best Novel

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 11 min

The Aurora Awards are granted annually by the Canadian SF and Fantasy Association and SFSF Boreal Inc. The Award for Best Novel was first awarded in 1982 as the Award for Best Outstanding Work, and there are two awards, one granted to an English-language work and one to a French-language work. Until 1989, it was dedicated to any works, including non-novel-length works. It became a dedicated category in 1989 as the Award for Best Long Form (French: Meilleur Livre). It won the Award for Best Novel (French: Meilleur Roman) in 2011 when the Prix Aurora and Prix Boreal combined. No winner was awarded in 1983 and 1986, but shortlists were created.

Robert J. Sawyer has won the English-language award the most times (eight times), and Élisabeth Vonarburg has won the French-language award the most times (seven times).
