От фондацията за научна фантастика „Локус“ бяха обявени финалистите във всяка една от категориите на наградите „Локус“ 2013.

Наградата „Локус“ (на английски: Locus Award) е литературна премия в областта на научната фантастика и фентъзито, която се присъжда от началото на 70-те години на миналия век насам. Победителите се избират след гласуване от читателите на едноименното списание. Питаме се за кого ли биха гласували читателите на сп. „Сборище на трубадури“…

Победителите ще бъдат оповестени на 28-30 юни в Сиатъл по време на уикенда, посветен на приза. Във всяка от категориите има по пет номинирани:
