The Hugo Awards are presented at an evening ceremony during the World Science Fiction Convention.
Nominations are as a result of ballots cast by the convention members who vote by mail. They are
counted using a weighted method whereby ballot entries, listed by preference,
are assigned a value and then tallied. Those who fail to meet the cutoff or have the least number
are dropped and the counting is redone until such time as a clear winner appears.
