Solaris is a Canadian francophone science-fiction and fantasy magazine.
Founded in 1974 in Longueuil (Québec) by Norbert Spehner, Solaris is the oldest French language science-fiction and fantasy magazine in the world.
Solaris not only publishes established authors, but fosters the development of young francophone through a strong editorial direction. Mostly published and distributed in Québec, Solaris is also known in anglophone Canada, the United States and in Europe, where it is considered to be one of the most significant francophone magazines of its field.
Solaris deals in all forms of science fiction and fantasy, including horror and "weird" fiction. It publishes original material (short stories and illustrations) as well as related information, criticism, interviews and articles.
Solaris sponsors an annual literary contest, the Prix Solaris, intended to encourage new authors. The Prix Solaris is open only to Canadian authors. From 1981 to 2000, the Prix Solaris had two sides : literature and graphic novels.
