Shows are nominated by fans, finalists are chosen by a steering committee, and the winners are voted on by an independent panel of judges.

Here’s some unexpected trivia for you. The lone nominee up for both a Parsec and Hugo this year was not a work in the Best Fancast category, but Writing Excuses Season Seven, a nominee in the Best Related Work category.
