Rhysling Award

De Rhysling Award is de jaarlijkse onderscheiding voor het beste sciencefiction-, fantasy- of horrorgedicht. De prijs is genoemd naar een fictief persoon: de blinde dichter Rhysling uit het sciencefictionverhaal The Green Hills of Earth van Robert A. Heinlein.

De onderscheiding wordt uitgereikt in twee categorieën: het beste korte gedicht (t/m 50 regels) en het beste lange gedicht (vanaf 50 regels). Gedichten worden genomineerd door leden van de Science Fiction Poetry Association (SFPA). Elk lid mag een gedicht nomineren in beide categorieën. De genomineerde gedichten worden gebundeld in The Rhysling Anthology. De leden kiezen vervolgens de winnaars.

Naast de Rhysling Award reikt de SFPA ook speciale onderscheidingen uit voor extreem korte gedichten (1 tot 10 regels): de Dwarf Stars Awards.
