Named for Hugo Gernsback, the Hugo Awards are presented each year to outstanding works of science fiction, fantasy, horror, or related fiction genre published during the previous year. The winners are selected by the members of Worldcon. (This year’s convention is Aussiecon 4, in Melbourne, but members from last year are also eligible to nominate and vote; you need to at least buy a supporting membership for Aussiecon in order to participate in the awards process.)
The nominations period is open through this Saturday March 13th, 2010, and we wanted to bring to your attention the eligible works that Tor.com had the honor of publishing in 2009. The ballot is here, and you may nominate up to five works in each category.

Tor.com hasn’t published any novels ;)
With this awesome of a list, something is bound to win in one category or another.
Hi Spera,
This post was meant to be specific to the works that Tor.com has published.
But that doesn’t mean would love for you to consider Tor novels, editors, and artists. You can check out the Tor corporate site here.
I believe that’s incorrect: members of last year’s con are eligible to nominate, but not to vote.
@David_Goldfarb
Fixed, thanks!
Martiniere hasn’t done anything for tor that is eligible?
CES: Good catch. He did the collabs with Greg Manchess on the Lake/Scholes stories. I’ll get him added here.
And that’s just for Tor.com. He’s done a bunch of book covers for Tor Books and many other publishers so he’s definitely eligible.
And just might be on my own ballot. ;-)
Thanks Irene! Now all you need to do is change the incorrect spelling of martiniere’s first name.
Are Eytan and Doni Kollin eligible for The Unincorporated Man?
@@@@@ 9 ces
Those stories were published in 2010 and are not eligible for nominations this year. Be sure to nominate them next year though!

Again, these are for works published by Tor.com. Tor Books is a separate entity.
I think it’s going to be a close race for Editor, Short Form. I can sense the tension.
