 | | The Hugo Awards were named in honor of Hugo Gernsback, “The Father of Magazine Science Fiction,” as he was described in a special award given to him in 1960. |
 | | The Hugo Award, which takes the shape of a rocket, is determined by nominations from and a popular vote of the members of that year’s World Science Fiction convention. |
 | | Originally, Hugo Awards were only presented to the best novel and the best short story, but over the years other categories, including the best dramatic presentation, the best fan writer, etc., have been added. |
