- I have been a sometimes reader of rec.arts.sf.* (and before of
- rec.arts.sf-lovers). For 1993 I am one of the Hugo Awards
- Administrators. The nominating ballot just went to press. I attach
- a copy in this posting that you will probably get before the PR even
- if you are a member of ConFrancisco. I also plan to do the same with
- the final ballot. The results I will post after the con (or after the
- ceremony if someone provides me terminal and modem at the con).
- Let me know if you think this service is of value to you (e-mail to
- goldberg@davidsys.com).
-
- For those who do not know, the Hugo Awards is a popular vote award by
- sf readers. It is extremely well known amongst the sf community.
- You must be a member of the 1993 WorldCon (ConFrancisco) to vote.
-
- We can not take votes via e-mail, written form only. Please print and
- mail if you wish to use this ballot.

- U.S.A. Do not mail ballots to the ConFrancisco main address in

-
- Do not FAX or E-mail your ballot.
-
- Please be sure to fill in the previous page and mail all pages.
- We cannot count your ballot if you do not do this.
-
- * How to Nominate
- You may nominate up to five persons or works in each category.
- However, you are permitted (and even encouraged) to make fewer
- nominations or none at all if you are not familiar with the works
- that fall into that category. The nominations are equally weighted:
- the order in which you list them has no effect on the outcome.
-
- Don't bother to nominate "No Award" (unless that's the title of a
- story or magazine you want to vote for). "No Award" will appear
- automatically in every category on the final ballot.
-
- Please include source information whenever possible. This is not
- mandatory, but makes it easier for us to identify the work you intend
- to nominate. For the fiction categories, NonFiction Book, and
- Original Artwork, space has been provided for this. In the continuing
- categories (Professional Editor and after) there's less room, but if
- your nominee is not well known we'd appreciate your writing in a source
- where his or her 1992 work in that category may be found.
-
- Please type or print clearly. We cannot be responsible for what you
- may inadvertently nominate if your writing is not clear.
-
- The five top vote getters 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 ballot, which will be distributed with
- ConFrancisco Progress Report #6 (scheduled for publication in
- May, 1993). Only members of ConFrancisco (including those who join
- after January 31, 1993) will be eligible to vote on the final ballot.
-
- * Eligibility
- Works published in 1992 are eligible for the 1993 Hugo Awards.
- 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.
-
- Exclusions: The ConFrancisco Committee has irrevocably delegated all
- Hugo Administration authority to a subcommittee. Therefore, only
- David Bratman, Seth Goldberg, and Kevin Standlee are ineligible for
- the 1993 Hugo Awards. Other rules of eligibility are given with
- the specific categories.
-
- * Reproduction
- Reproduction and distribution of this ballot are permitted and
- encouraged, provided that it is reproduced verbatim (including voting
- instructions), with no additional material other than the name of the
- person or publication responsible for the reproduction.
