Hugo Awards Nominating Period Opens

The nominating period for the 2008 Hugo Awards is now open. The awards are being administered by the 2008 World Science Fiction Convention (Denvention 3). You can find their online ballot here.

According to thehugoawards.org, the nominations process is open to members of the World Science Fiction Society. To be a member of WSFS you must have either been a member of the 2007 Worldcon (Nippon 2007) or you must be a member of Denvention 3. Only a supporting membership of the Worldcon is required; you do not have to attend the convention. For Denvention 3 the cost of a supporting membership is $50. This also entitles you to various Denvention 3 publications and gives you the right to vote in the Final Hugo Ballot for 2008, the Hugo Nominating Ballot for 2009, and the Worldcon Site Selection Ballot for 2008 (which chooses where the 2010 Worldcon will be held).
