Renovation, this summer’s World Science Fiction Convention, has announced that the 2011 Hugo Award nomination period is now open.
Nomination ballots will be accepted until Saturday 26 March 2011 at 23:59 PDT. Members of Renovation who join by 31 January 2011, and all members of Aussiecon 4 (last year’s WorldCon) are eligible to nominate.
The Hugo Awards are “the premier award in the science fiction genre, honoring science fiction literature and media as well as the genre’s fans. The Hugos were first awarded at the 1953 World Science Fiction Convention in Philadelphia (Philcon II), and they have continued to honor science fiction and fantasy notables for nearly 60 years since then.”
