Every year the organisers of the Arthur C Clarke Award release the full list of novels submitted for consideration by the judging panel. This is not a long-list, but rather the full list of submitted titles which the judges will debate and select their shortlist of six titles.

2012 was a record year for submissions with 32 publishing imprints putting forward a total of 82 novels for consideration, a jump of over a third from last year's equally record-breaking total of 60 titles.

Award Director Tom Hunter said:

“The profile of the Clarke Award is rising year on year, and this is reflected in both the number and diversity of titles submitted for consideration for this year’s prize. We feel it’s more important than ever to make this full list available to everyone so SF readers everywhere can see both the scope of the genre and also appreciate the challenge the judges face in selecting just six titles to go forward on their shortlist.”

The shortlist for the 2013 Arthur C Clarke Award will be revealed on Thursday 4 April, with the winner being announced in a special ceremony hosted by The Royal Society in London on Wednesday 1 May.

Let us know what your shortlist of six from the list of submissions would be.
