2023 Hugo Awards

The Hugo Awards, presented annually since 1955, are science fiction’s most prestigious award. The awards are voted on by members of the World Science Fiction Convention (“Worldcon”), which is also responsible for administering them.  Finalists are announced in the spring, and winners are announced at the World Science Fiction Convention in December.

Categories include Best Artist, Best Editor (for both short- and long-form works), Best Dramatic Presentation, and, of course, the literature categories.  For a full list of categories, winners, and nominees, visit the Hugo Awards website.
