Chicon 8 Opens 2022 Hugo Nominations

Chicon 8 has announced that nominations for the 2022 Hugo Awards are now open, as are nominations for the Lodestar Award for Best Young Adult Book, and the Astounding Award for Best New Writer. Nominatons will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-7) on March 15, 2022.

All DisCon III members and Chicon 8 members who are registered before 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC-8) January 31, 2022, are eligible to nominate.

Instructions for accessing the online nominating form have been sent to eligible members via e-mail.

Worldcon members who are uncertain of their status or who experience problems with the online nominating form should contact [email protected].

The Hugo Awards were first presented in 1953 and have been awarded annually since 1955. Members of the Worldcon vote on them for the given year, while the sitting Worldcon is responsible for administering them.

As permitted under the rules, the Chicon 8 Committee has irrevocably delegated all Hugo Award Administration authority to a subcommittee. Therefore, Kat Jones, Jesi Lipp, Brian Nisbet, and Nicholas Whyte are ineligible for 2022 Hugo Awards. Any other member of the committee remains eligible.

Complete information about the nominating process is available at Hugo Awards – Chicon 8.

  1. Yay! And eek! I am so behind on my reading. But I did put in a couple things to start and received my email confirmation.

  2. @Andrew (not Werdna): Funny about that. Time flies like bananas, as the old saying goes.

  3. Seems like less than a month ago the 2021 ceremony was going on.

    Yup, the consequences of (hopefully) moving back to a more normal schedule.

  4. Hi,
    Very very new to this. Any recommendations for 2021 eligible works that were translated into English?

  5. No special award/video game? I was looking forward to that. We really enjoyed discovering Spiritfarer and Hades especially

  6. I’m just going to put a word in for Arcane, the Netflix series.

    I’m really looking forward to nominating this year. I’ve actually read/watched enough to feel like I can contribute!
