The John W. Campbell Award for the Best New Writer in Science Fiction is awarded annually by the World Science Fiction Society. It is awarded to the best new science fiction or fantasy writer whose first work of science fiction or fantasy appearing in a professional publication was published in the previous two years. There can be confusion over the term "professional publication" since the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), the World Science Fiction Society (WSFS), and the award sponsor (currently Dell Magazine) define it differently. In 2005, there was a change in the eligibility criteria. For the purposes of the Campbell Award, professional publications are works sold for more than a nominal amount and published anywhere in the world. There is an Eligibility FAQ available.
Attendees of the current or previous Worldcon are eligible to nominate new writers for the Campbell Award. Profiles of eligible authors are maintained at the Campbell Award area at Writertopia. llll
