The Sidewise Awards for Alternate History

Past Winners and Finalists

The award year is the same as the year of publication, and a year prior to announcement.
Thus, e.g., the 2014 awards were presented in 2015.

Select Award Year: 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995All

Winners are in bold print and marked by a leading asterisk. For the 1995 and 1996 awards, the short list of finalists was not announced in advance, and runners-up were simply listed as "honorable mention".
