Thirty ballots were eliminated because they were not signed, were submitted after the deadline, or because the voter did not have a valid Chicon 2000 membership. The ballot counting has been completed and the engraved brass plates for the awards have been ordered. I've been told by Team Hugo that I'm hosting the Hugo Ceremony if Harry Turtledove doesn't show up. It's been a lot of fun administrating the Hugo Awards this year. I'm looking forward to attending the Hugo Awards Ceremony on September 2nd and meeting the nominees in person.
Panelists give their opinions.
A Few Hugo Award Links These web sites will provide many additional links to past Hugo Award winners and information on works published in 1999. This demo describes the same sort of voting method used for the Hugo and John W. Campbell Awards. The John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer is nominated and voted in the same manner and on the same ballots as the Hugo Awards. The site covers past winners, gives general background on voting procedures, and lists several dozen writers who the site author considers eligible for the Campbell Award. Chicon 2000 must state that the listing of potential nominees at the above site are unofficial, and the final determination of eligibility rests solely with the Hugo Awards Subcommittee of Chicon 2000.
