Hugo Award For Best Fanzine

ABOUT THIS AWARD

The Hugo Award s, the most prestigious awards in Science Fiction and Fantasy , are given every year for the best fiction of the previous year, and for related areas in fandom, art and dramatic presentation. The winners are voted on by science fiction fans, and the awards are handed out at the annual World Science Fiction Convention (" Worldcon "). The award is named after Hugo Gernsback , the founder of the pioneering science fiction magazine Amazing Stories .

This Hugo Award is given to fanzines, or amateur Science Fiction / Fantasy / Horror magazines which do not pay their contributors. Fanzines are generally produced out of the love of the genre, its authors, books and films. Historically, fanzines were produced by inexpensive copying processes such as mimeography, and obtained from the editor by contributing articles, artwork or letters or comment, trading for other fanzines, or the like. More recently fanzines have been published electronically, but they have always served as forums for commentary within the genre community.

For the purposes of the Hugo Award, a fanzine, according to Article 3.3.11 of the World Science Fiction Society, is "Any generally available non-professional publication devoted to science fiction, fantasy, or related subjects which by the close of the previous calendar year has published four (4) or more issues, at least one (1) of which appeared in the previous calendar year, and which does not qualify as a semiprozine."

The terminology associated with this award has morphed over the years. It was for "Best Fan Magazine" in 1956–57 and for "Best Amateur Magazine" in 1959, 1963–64, 1966, 1972–75, 1977–78. This is the oldest long-running Hugo award for fan activity; in 1967 Hugo Awards were added specifically for Fan Writing and Fan Art .
