On March 12, 2025 at 5 P.M. PDT, SFWA announced this year’s Nebula Awards Finalists as chosen by SFWA members.

Here’s the announcement on YouTube. It’s a great piece to watch.

This year’s winners will be announced at the 60th Nebula Annual Nebula Awards Conference, to be held in Kansas City, Missouri from June 5-8.

Our May 6 R-SPEC meeting will allow us to hold our own (non-binding) voting for Best Nebula Short Story.
