Ha una lunga tradizione il Premio BSFA, persino un paio d'anni più lunga del Premio Italia, venendo assegnato dal 1970, durante la convention nazionale di fantascienza del Regno Unito, la Eastercon, che per tradizione dal 1955 si tiene il giorno di Pasqua.

Tra i finalisti a questo prestigioso premio quest'anno c'è anche un'autrice francese – o meglio, franco-vietnamita – nota in Italia, Aliette de Bodard.
