Tag: 2023 Hugo Awards

I noted previously that the 2023 Hugos had disallowed certain otherwise eligible authors from the awards competition simply because the ceremony was being held in Chengdu, China and there were concerns about local sensitivities/laws. Nor did this happen in a transparent manner. In response to the outcry, trying to make it right, the Hugos are allowing a couple of the authors a second bite at the apple. Read about it over at the MarySue.

If you haven’t been following the news about the 2023 Hugo awards, certain works were deemed ineligible for political reasons (although otherwise eligible) – solely because the awards ceremony was being held in Chengdu, China. A short version of the report can be read here, and this is the full length investigative report and a response from the 2024 Glasgow WorldCon here.
