Hugo Award for Best Fancast
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 previously officially known as the Science Fiction Achievement Award. It has been described by "The Guardian" and "Litro Magazine" as "a fine showcase for speculative fiction" and "the best known literary award for science fiction writing".
Hugo Award
A 2017 rule change expanded the criteria to be any year after 1939 in which no Hugos were awarded, whether or not there was a Worldcon that year, or fifteen years in total: 1939–52 and 1954. Worldcon 76 and Dublin 2019 then jointly announced that Retro Hugos would be awarded in 2018 for 1943 and in 2019 for 1944.
