Američko udruženje pisaca naučne i epske fantastike (SFWA) objavilo je nominacije za nagradu “Nebula” za 2014. godinu.

Ova nagrada jedno je od dva najprestižnija svetska priznanja za književnu fantastiku, a dodeljuje se za dela objavljena u Sjedinjenim Državama, i to u kategorijama najboljeg romana, najbolje novele, najbolje novelete i najbolje kratke priče.

Glasanje obavljaju aktivni članovi “Američkog udruženja pisaca naučne i epske fantastike”, a laureati će biti proglašeni tokom 50. “Nebula vikenda”, koji se održava od 04. do 07. juna 2015. godine u Čikagu.

Tom prilikom biće dodeljene i nagrade “Rej Bredberi” za najbolji scenario, “Andre Norton” za najbolji roman iz domena fantastike posvećen mladima, kao i memorijalna nagrada “Dejmon Najt” za životno delo.
