The Hugos and Worldcon<br /> The Hugo Award is an annual literary award for the best science fiction and fantasy works, and is widely considered the premier award in science fiction. It is given at the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) and chosen by its members.<br /> Named after Hugo Gernsback, the founder of the pioneering science-fiction magazine Amazing Stories, the Hugos were first given in 1953, and have been awarded every year since 1955. <br /> The Hugos were conceived as a one-off event, though organizers hoped that subsequent conventions would also present them. The 1954 Worldcon chose not to, but the Hugos were reinstated at the 1955 Worldcon and thereafter became traditional. <br /> The awards have expanded from seven to 17 categories of written and dramatic works over the years. <br /> Who can nominate and vote, and in what categories? The final ballot is open to all current Worldcon members. While the most famous categories are “Best Novel” and “Best Dramatic Presentation”, there are many other Hugo Awards—including some for short fiction, artists, editors and “fannish activities” (work done for the love of it, that is frequently far from amateurish).<br /> Previous nominees and winners you might have heard of include Dune (1964, 1966), Starship Troopers (1960), Cat's Cradle (1964), Slaughterhouse Five (1970), Left Hand of Darkness (1970), Neuromancer (1985), Ender’s Game (1986) and The Three-Body Problem (2015). <br /> <br /> <br /> Lehigh Libraries’ Science-Fiction Titles: Lehigh is home to an extensive science-fiction collection, spanning more than 1,600 titles.
