Hugo Award Nominating Deadlines

When I made my Hugo Awards post, I neglected to mention that in order to nominate for this year’s award, you have to have either been an attending or supporting member of last year’s Worldcon (Denvention), or you have to register as an attending or supporting member of this year’s Worldcon (Anticipation) by January 31.

So, if you want to nominate, and you didn’t have a membership last year, go here to register. Since the deadline is approaching, you should probably do that now.

If you just want to vote, choose an adult supporting membership ($55 Canadian, about $44 US dollars). Otherwise, buy an attending membership. If you’re not sure if you want to attend, you can buy a supporting membership now, so that you can nominate, and then upgrade your membership later to a full attending membership if you decide to go to the convention.

Once you’re registered, you have until February 28–or rather, your ballot must be received by February 28.
