History
The Hugo Award was named in honor of Hugo Gernsback, 'The Father of Magazine Science Fiction'. The Award is given annually by the World Science Fiction Society (WSFS).
'The distinguishing characteristics of the Hugo Award are that it is sponsored by WSFS, administered by the committee of the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) held that year, and determined by nominations from and a popular vote of the membership of WSFS.'
