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
In 1990 the Best Original Art Work award was given as an extra Hugo Award, and was listed again in 1991, though not actually awarded, and established afterward as an official Hugo Award. It was then removed from this status in 1996, and has not been awarded since. The Retro Hugos were created in the mid-1990s, and were first awarded in 1996.
