Penghargaan Nebula untuk Cerita Pendek Terbaik

Penghargaan Nebula untuk Cerita Pendek Terbaik diberikan setiap tahun oleh Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) untuk cerita-cerita pendek fantasi atau fiksi ilmiah. Sebuah karya fiksi didefinisikan oleh organisasi tersebut sebagai sebuah cerpan jika itu kurang dari 7,500 kata penghargaan juga diberikan bagi karya-karya yang berisi kata yang lebih panjang dalam kategori novel, novelette, dan novella. Untuk persyaratan Penghargaan Nebula, sebuah novel haruslah diterbitkan dalam bahasa Inggris di Amerika Serikat. Karya-karya yang diterbitkan dalam bahasa Inggris di belahan dunia lainnya juga layak diberikan bagi yang dirilis di sebuah situs web atau dalam sebuah edisi elektronik. Penghargaan Nebula untuk Cerpen Terbaik telah dianugerahi setiap tahun sejak 1966. Penghargaan tersebut telah dianggap sebagai salah satu "penghargaan fiksi ilmiah Amerika paling berpengaruh" dan "[penghargaan] fiksi ilmiah dan fantasi yang setara" dengan Emmy Award.

 Proses seleksi 

Para nominee dan pemenang Penghargaan Nebula dipilih oleh para anggota SFWA, meskipun para pengarang dari nomineenya tak menjadi anggota. Karya-karya dinominasikan setiap tahun antara 15 November dan 15 Februari oleh para pengarang yang menjadi anggota dari organisasi tersebut, dan enam karya yang meraih nominasi terbanyak kemudian maju ke pemungutan suara terakhir, dengan nominee-nominee tambahan yang memungkinkan dalam kasus berpasangan. Para anggota kemudian memberikan suara pada pemungutan suara tersebut sepanjang bulan Maret, dan hasil akhir dipersembahkan di acara Penghargaan Nebula pada bulan Mei. Para pengarang tak diizinkan untuk menominasikan karya mereka sendiri, dan memasangkannya dalam pemungutan suara terakhir, jika memungkinkan, dengan jumlah nominasi dari karya yang diraih. Bermula dengan penghargaan tahun 2009, aturan diubah menjadi format saat ini. Sebelum itu, periode kelayakan untuk karya-karya yang dinominasikan didefinisikan sebagai satu tahun setelah tanggal publikasi dari karya tersebut, yang membolehkan kemungkinan bagi karya-karya yang dinominasikan dalam tahun kalender setelah publikasi mereka dan kemudian dianugerahi dalam tahun kalender setelahnya. Karya-karya ditambahkan pada daftar preliminer untuk sebuah tahun jika mereka memiliki sepuluh nominasi atau lebih, yang kemudian dipilih untuk dimajukan ke pemungutan suara terakhir, di mana panel yang dihimpun SFWA juga diizinkan untuk menambahkan sebuah karya tambahan.

 Statistik penghargaan 

Pada 52 tahun nominasi, 211 pengarang memiliki karya-karya yang dinominasikan; 39 di antaranya menang, termasuk pengarang bersama. Salah satu pengarang tersebut, Lisa Tuttle, menolak penghargaannya, dan pada 1971 tak ada pemenang yang ditulis karena tak ada yang meraih jumlah suara tertinggi. Harlan Ellison menang tiga kali dari delapan nominasi, jumlah kemenangan sekaligus jumlah nominasi tertinggi dari pengarang manapun. Sepuluh pengarang menang dua kali, dengan Karen Joy Fowler memiliki tujuh dan Gardner Dozois memiliki enam nominasi yang merupakan jumlah nominasi tertinggi berikutnya setelah Ellison. Michael Swanwick meraih nominasi terbanyak untuk cerpen tanpa kemenangan dengan jumlah enam, dan Howard Waldrop dan Gene Wolfe masing-masing meraih lima nominasi. Tak ada pengarang lainnya yang dinominasikan lebih dari empat kali.
