BSFA Award for Best Artwork

The BSFA Awards are given every year by the British Science Fiction Association. The BSFA Award for Best Artwork is open to any single science fictional or fantastic image that first appeared in the previous year. Provided the artwork hasn't been published before it doesn't matter where it appears. The ceremonies are named after the year that the eligible works were published, despite the awards being given out in the next year.
