The Aurora Awards are granted annually by the Canadian SF and Fantasy Association and SFSF Boreal Inc.
It became a dedicated category in 1989 as the Award for Best Long Form (French: Meilleur Livre).
It won the Award for Best Novel (French: Meilleur Roman) in 2011 when the Prix Aurora and Prix Boreal combined.
No winner was awarded in 1983 and 1986, but shortlists were created.
If continued, this award will be given out once every 10 years.
