The Seraph Award is a literary award for speculative fiction written in German. It is given annually during Leipzig Book Fair. The award is organized and overseen by the Phantastische Akademie.

Award

In the category "Best Novel", all works published by a publishing house within the current calendar year are eligible. The second category is "Best Debut Novel". This category includes prize money of 2,000 Euros. From 2012 to 2015, the award was sponsored largely by Stadtwerke Leipzig. Since 2016, the Leipzig Book Fair has been the main sponsor. The same year, a third category was established, awarding the best self-published novel ("Best Indie").

Selection process

The winners are selected by a jury of 21 members who are newly nominated each year. The jury comprises fiction editors, journalists, bloggers, authors, literary agents, translators, booksellers, librarians as well as readers. The Phantastische Akademie and its supporters select the nominees from all submissions. From the list of nominees, the jury votes for the winners. The winners are announced at Leipzig Book Fair.
