The Hugo Award Nominees Wiki 2018+2019
I wanted to tell you about a project I started and has been going for a few years now.
The Hugo Award Nominees wiki, usually called the Hugo Noms wiki, is a project I started a few years ago, with the aim of helping people remember the award worthy work they've read in the past year when it comes time to nominate.
Right now, there are two active iterations of the Wiki. The 2018 version still needs a LOT of content as nominations for the 2018 Hugos are about the begin, and many categories are still spars. The 2019 version was just created and is basically an empty shell, waiting for nominations.
I made a video for last year's wiki, which is still applicable this year, showing how to add worthy works and people to the wiki. It's on the wiki, but here it is as well:
So this is a call to action: Have you read a great book/story/comicbook published in 2017? Maybe check out and see if it's in the 2018 Wiki, and if not, add it! Same for media consumed in 2018 and the 2019 wik. (The award is named for the year it is given, not the year of publication).
If you can, please help make the wiki full and awesome and more useful for yourselves and others. Thank you!
Oh @carolkean this is right up your alley!
You would think so, right? To nominate and vote, I'd have to pay the $30+ annual membership fee. I looked into this several years ago, I attended one state-wide SFF conference and met a few famous authors (Nancy Kress, e.g.), but this gets political, and I'm too jaded and cynical for that.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the Hugo is as much a popularity contest as the annual Preditors and Editors Readers Poll. Again: call my cynical...
