BSFA-palkintoa jakaa British Science Fiction Association. Voittajat valitaan äänestyksellä, johon saavat osallistua kaikki yhdistyksen jäsenet ja viime vuosina myös Eastercon-tapahtuman osallistujat. Ehdokkaita voi nimetä kuka tahansa yhdistyksen jäsen ja lyhytlistalle pääsee noin viisi eniten ääntä saanutta kirjaa.
Lyhytlista julkistetaan tammikuussa ja voittajat Easterconissa pääsiäisen aikaan.
