About this award

The Hugo Awards, 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. The Hugo Award is given every year for the best science fiction or fantasy stories of the previous year, and for related areas in fandom, art and dramatic presentation. ... Science fiction is a form of speculative fiction principally dealing with the impact of imagined science and technology, or both, upon society and persons as individuals. ... Fantasy is a genre of art, literature, film, television, and music that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of either plot, theme, setting, or all three. ... Worldcon, or more formally The World Science Fiction Convention, is the longest running science fiction convention having been held from 1939 to 1941 and, after the interruption of World War II, every year since 1946. ... Hugo Gernsback (August 16, 1884 - August 19, 1967) was born in Luxembourg, and immigrated to the United States in 1905. ...

According to Article 3.3.12 of the World Science Fiction Society Constitution, a fan writer is "Any person whose writing has appeared in semiprozines or fanzines or in generally available electronic media during the previous calendar year."

What constitutes a Semiprozine is defined by the rather complicated Article 3.3.10, as "Any generally available non-professional publication devoted to science fiction or fantasy 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 in the previous calendar year met at least two (2) of the following criteria: (1) had an average press run of at least one thousand (1000) copies per issue, (2) paid its contributors and/or staff in other than copies of the publication, (3) provided at least half the income of any one person, (4) had at least fifteen percent (15%) of its total space occupied by advertising, (5) announced itself to be a semiprozine.

In contrast, a fanzine, according to Article 3.3.11 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."
