Au fost anunțate nominalizările pentru premiile Locus 2015. Din lista scurtă lipsesc cu desăvîrșire lucrările controversate (listele Sad Puppies și Rabid Puppies) care au pus pe foc comunitatea sf în urma monopolizării premiilor Hugo 2015. Ca și acestea, premiile Locus sunt acordate prin vot popular (votul cititorilor revistei).
Cîștigătorii vor fi anunțați în timpul weekend-ului Locus  din 26-28 iunie într-o ceremonie găzduita de Connie Willis.
