David Hartwell with 2008 Hugo Award for Best Editor (Long Form) (and necktie)

The Hugo Awards are given every year by the World Science Fiction Society for the best science fiction or fantasy works and achievements of the previous year. The award is named after Hugo Gernsback, the founder of the pioneering science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, and was once officially known as the Science Fiction Achievement Award.[1] The award has been described as "a fine showcase for speculative fiction" and "the best known literary award for science fiction writing".[2][3] The Hugo Award for Best Professional Editor was given each year for editors of magazines, novels, anthologies, or other works related to science fiction or fantasy, published in English. The award supplanted a previous award for professional magazine.

The award was first presented in 1973, and was given annually through 2006. Beginning in 2007, the award was split into two categories, that of Best Editor (Short Form) and Best Editor (Long Form). The Short Form award is for editors of anthologies, collections or magazines, while the Long Form award is for editors of novels. In addition to the regular Hugo awards, beginning in 1996 Retrospective Hugo Awards, or "Retro Hugos", have been available to be awarded for years 50, 75, or 100 years prior in which no awards were given.[4] To date, Retro Hugo awards have been awarded for 1939, 1946, 1951, and 1954, and in each case an award for professional editor was given.[5]

Hugo Award nominees and winners are chosen by supporting or attending members of the annual World Science Fiction Convention, or Worldcon, and the presentation evening constitutes its central event. The selection process is defined in the World Science Fiction Society Constitution as instant-runoff voting with five nominees, except in the case of a tie. These five works on the ballot are the five most-nominated by members that year, with no limit on the number of works that can be nominated.[4] Initial nominations are made by members in January through March, while voting on the ballot of five nominations is performed roughly in April through July, subject to change depending on when that year's Worldcon is held.[6] Worldcons are generally held near Labor Day, and are held in a different city around the world each year.[1][7] Members are permitted to vote "no award", if they feel that none of the nominees is deserving of the award that year, and in the case that "no award" takes the majority the Hugo is not given in that category. This happened in both the Short Form and Long Form categories in 2015.[8]

During the 50 nomination years, 60 editors have been nominated for the original Best Professional Editor, the Short Form, or the Long Form award, including Retro Hugos. Of these, Gardner Dozois has received the most awards, with 15 original awards out of 19 nominations for the original category and one for the Short Form. The only other editors to win more than three awards are Ben Bova, who won 6 of 8 nominations for the original award, Ellen Datlow, who won 6 of 17 nominations, split between the original and short form awards, and John W. Campbell, Jr. with 5 out of 5 nominations for the Retro Hugo awards. The two editors who have won three times are Edward L. Ferman with 3 out of 20 original nominations and Patrick Nielsen Hayden with 3 out of 3 Long Form nominations. Stanley Schmidt has received the most nominations, at 27 original and 7 Short Form, winning one Short Form.

Winners and nominees

In the following tables, the years correspond to the date of the ceremony. Editors are eligible based on their work of the previous calendar year, and each date links to the "year in literature" article corresponding with when those works were eligible. Although the Best Professional Editor award is not given explicitly for any particular editing effort and such works are not recorded by the World Science Fiction Society, works that the editor in question was involved with in the eligibility period are listed. This list includes magazines or anthologies that the editor worked on and publishing houses that he or she was employed at, and is not intended to be comprehensive. Entries with a blue background and an asterisk (*) next to the editor's name have won the award; those with a white background are the nominees on the short-list.

Retro Hugos

Beginning with the 1996 Worldcon, the World Science Fiction Society created the concept of "Retro Hugos", in which the Hugo award could be retroactively awarded for years 50, 75, or 100 years before the current year, if no awards were originally given that year.[4] Retro Hugos have been awarded five times, for 1939, 1941, 1946, 1951, and 1954. The 1939 and 1941 Retro Hugos were awarded 75 years later, the other three were given 50 years later. In 1946, 1951, and 1954 the award was given for Best Professional Editor, as the category had not been split, while for 1939 and 1941 it was given for Short Form only, as Long Form did not have enough responses to make a ballot.[5] The next year that Retro Hugos can be awarded is 2022, for 1947.[4]

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 The 1986 award was posthumously given to Judy-Lynn del Rey after her death in 1985 but was declined by her husband Lester del Rey in her name, saying that she would have objected to the award being given to her just because she had recently died.[121] The Hugo Awards site continues to list her as the winner for that year.[41]
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 Several categories, including Best Professional Editor (long and short forms), were awarded to "No award" in 2015 in response to the Sad Puppies and Rabid Puppies voting campaigns.
  3. ↑ Edmund R. Schubert attempted to withdraw himself from the 2015 ballot, stating that the prevalence of nominees that year from voting slates, including one which he had been on, de-legitimized the nominations. While other nominees that year in other categories also withdrew for the same reason, Schubert's request came after the ballot was finalized and was not accepted, though a note of his intention to withdraw was made on the ballot itself.
