Aurealis Awards entries close on November 30, 2025 – this is by necessity a couple of weeks earlier than in past years to facilitate our exciting Awards Ceremony at GenreCon on the weekend of 20-22nd February!

It is ESSENTIAL that creators and publishers remember the deadline still includes all 2025 publications, including those scheduled for DECEMBER this year.

If you believe you have a story being published late in the year, get it entered! We can always cancel an entry if publication is delayed, but we will not be able to accept 2025 publications in next year’s Awards.
