The deadline for nominations for the 2000 Hugo Awards has already passed. Votes from this form are no longer counted.

PDF version of this form available.

Instructions for the Electronic Form

For your nominations to be counted correctly, we request that all information in the member information section be filled out. Note that you do not have to nominiate in every category, or make the maximum five nominations in a category, for the form to be valid. In case of submission of multiple forms, whether electronic or paper, Chicon 2000 will use the earliest form, as determined by submission date (electronic) or reception date (paper).

You must be an attending or supporting member of Chicon 2000, or have been an attending or supporting member of Aussicon Three, to make Hugo nominations. The deadline for joining Chicon 2000 and to also be eligible to make 2000 Hugo Award nominations was January 31, 2000.

You may still become a member of Chicon 2000 and vote for the 2000 Hugo Awards when the final ballot is released in April. For more information on becoming a member of Chicon 2000, see the Chicon 2000 Registration page.

If you have moved, and not notified Chicon of your new address, put your old address in the form, and note your new address in the comment box at the end of the form below.

Finally, the Constitution of the World Science Fiction Society stipulates that the Hugo Nomination form must enclose a copy of Article III, which covers the nomination, voting and awarding of the Hugo Award. The copy for this version of the Chicon 2000 form is here.

How to Nominate

Works published in 1999 are eligible for the Hugo Awards being awarded in 2000. Books are considered to have been published on the publication date, which usually appears with the copyright information on the back of the title page. If there is no stated publication date, the copyright date will be used instead. A dated periodical is considered to have been published on the cover date, regardless of when it was placed on sale or copyrighted. Serialized stories or dramatic presentations are eligible in the year in which the last installment appears. A work originally appearing in a language other than English is eligible both in the year of its original appearance and in the year in which it first appears in English translation.

You may nominate up to five choices in each category. However, you are permitted (and even encouraged) to make fewer nominations or none at all if you are not familiar with a category. This is not a preferential-type form. The nominations are equally weighted, therefore the order in which you list them has no effect on the outcome.

"No Award" will appear automatically in every category on the final form — there is no need to include it on this nomination form.

Please include source information when possible. While this is not mandatory, it does make it easier to identify what you are nominating. In the context of this form, a "professional publication" is one that had an average press run of at least 10,000 copies per issue.

The five top nominees in each category (more in case of ties, fewer if not many nominations are cast in that category) will appear on the final Hugo Awards form, which will be distributed with Chicon 2000's Progress Report Six (scheduled for publication in April 2000).

Only members of Chicon 2000 will be eligible to vote on the final form.

Nomination forms must be received by March 31, 2000 to ensure that they will be counted.

Questions may be addressed to hugos@chicon.org. Additional information will be posted on the Hugo Awards page.
