The Sogen SF Short Story Prize (創元SF短編賞 Sōgen SF Tanpen Shō) is an annual Japanese literary award conducted by Tokyo Sogensha since 2010.[1]

It is a prize contest for unpublished short stories and novelettes of science fiction and other related genres. The winning story will be published on the year's-best Japanese SF anthology series from the publisher's imprint Sōgen SF Bunko. In 2010 and 2011, some of the finalists were also collected into another anthology series Genshoku no Sōzōryoku (原色の想像力).[2][3]

The regular judges are Nozomi Ohmori (critic/translator/anthologist) and Sanzō Kusaka (critic/anthologist), who edits the year's-best. Another notable author is also invited as a guest judge each year.

Recognition

Yūsuke Miyauchi's debut collection Banjō no Yoru (盤上の夜)[4] was nominated for the 147th Naoki Prize[5] and won the 2012 Nihon SF Taisho Award.[6]

Dempow Torishima's debut collection Kaikin no To (皆勤の徒)[7] won the 2013 Nihon SF Taisho Award. The novella "Kaikin no To" was also translated into English as "Sisyphean" and included in the English anthology Phantasm Japan.[8]
