The Hugo Award, named for Hugo Gernsback, “The Father of Magazine Science Fiction,” is the most prestigious award for Science Fiction. It is awarded mid-Summer every year by the World Science Fiction Society (WSFS) and administered by the committee of the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon). Award Annals presents two of numerous categories: Best Novel and Best Dramatic Presentaion—Long Form.
