Prior to then, the eligibility period for nominations was defined as one year after the publication date of the work, which allowed the possibility for works to be nominated in the calendar year after their publication and then reach the final ballot in the calendar year after that. Beginning with the 2009 awards, the rules were changed to the current format. Authors are not permitted to nominate their own works, and ties in the final vote are broken, if possible, by the number of nominations the works received. Soon after, members are given a month to vote on the ballot, and the final results are presented at the Nebula Awards ceremony in May. Works are nominated each year by members in a period around December 15 through January 31, and the six works that receive the most nominations then form the final ballot, with additional nominees possible in the case of ties. Nebula Award nominees and winners are chosen by members of SFWA, though the authors of the nominees do not need to be a member. The award has been described as one of "the most important of the American science fiction awards" and "the science-fiction and fantasy equivalent" of the Emmy Awards. The Nebula Award for Best Short Story has been awarded annually since 1966.
Works published in English elsewhere in the world are also eligible provided they are released on either a website or in an electronic edition. To be eligible for Nebula Award consideration a short story must be published in English in the United States. A work of fiction is defined by the organization as a short story if it is less than 7,500 words awards are also given out for longer works in the categories of novel, novella, and novelette. The Nebula Award for Best Short Story is a literary award assigned each year by Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) for science fiction or fantasy short stories.
