# Seiun-Preis

Der Seiun-Preis (jap. 星雲賞, Seiun-shō) ist ein japanischer Literaturpreis, der herausragende nationale Science-Fiction-Werke auszeichnet. Er wird seit 1970 jährlich von den Teilnehmern des Nihon SF Taikai, der wichtigsten Science-Fiction-Convention Japans, aus einer Liste von Nominierungen gewählt.
Der Preis gilt als japanisches Gegenstück zum US-amerikanischen Hugo Award, der auf der Worldcon verliehen wird. Eine englische Übersetzung seines Namens wäre Nebula Award, was wiederum ein anderer US-amerikanischer SF-Literaturpreis ist.
