Could someone enlighten me as

It's based on calendar year publication.  Books that
get published in December and January (and never
seem to come out when the copyright says) are a
problem that I've never quite figured out.  My usual
course of action is to use the Recommended List in
Locus as a guide to what's eligible.

I don't think country makes a difference, but since
most people who vote are American, books published
in the States obviously have an (overwhelming)
advantage.
