AUREALIS AWARD  FOR EXCELLENCE IN  YOUNG ADULT SPECULATIVE FICTION 1995-2002

The Aurealis Awards for Excellence in Speculative Fiction were established in 1995 by the publishers of Aurealis to recognize the achievements of Australian science fiction, fantasy and horror writers. To be eligible, works must have been written by an Australian and first published in the relevant calendar year. There are five divisions: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Young Adult and Children's. (Children's is a new division added for the 2001 Aurealis Awards.) The Young Adult and Children's categories each cover all three genres. The award winners for Young Adult Speculative Fiction are shown in the following table. Dual awards were made in 1995, 1996, and 1997.
