Awards edit

The World Science Fiction Society administers and presents the Hugo Awards,[3] the oldest and most noteworthy award for science fiction. Selection of the recipients is by vote of the Worldcon members. Categories include novels and short fiction, artwork, dramatic presentations, and various professional and fandom activities.[3][4]

Other awards may be presented at Worldcon at the discretion of the individual convention committee. This has often included the national SF awards of the host country, such as the Japanese Seiun Awards as part of Nippon 2007,[5] and the Prix Aurora Awards as part of Anticipation in 2009. The Astounding Award for Best New Writer and the Sidewise Award, though not sponsored by the Worldcon, are usually presented, as well as the Chesley Awards, the Prometheus Award, and others.[5]

Declined or ineligible edit

The following nominees received enough votes to qualify for the final ballot, but either declined nomination or were found to be ineligible.

  • Best Series:
    • Declined
    • Not enough words published since last appearance in this category. The administrators ruled that the Best Series category presented in 2017 as a special category was effectively the same category as this Best Series category, and therefore the rules for re-eligibility applied.
  • Best Editor, Long Form: Liz Gorinsky (declined)
  • Best Professional Artist: Julie Dillon (declined)
  • Best Fancast: Tea and Jeopardy (declined)
