A new design was used for the Aurora Award trophies in 1997. It consists of a black oval base, with three rippling Lucite sheets rising up from it, representing curtains of northern lights. The middle sheet of the three has a large maple leaf etched into it. The new trophy design was created by Toronto artist Edward Charpentier.
Robert J. Sawyer won both the Best English Long Form and Best English Short Form Aurora Awards this year. The former was for Starplex and the latter was for "Peking Man."
