The directory has been updated to reflect 2020 eligibility for the Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine.
At the moment, it doesn’t appear as though any publications have taken themselves out of the running for this year’s award.
If you are the editor of an unlisted publication, please contact Neil at neil(at)clarkesworldmagazine.com to discuss eligibility and addition to the list.
Congratulations to the 2020 Hugo Award finalists for Best Semiprozine:
All six finalists have been on the ballot at least once in previous years. Uncanny is the only previous winner on the ballot. (Aside from Weird Tales and Interzone, they are the only previous winner still eligible and publishing. The rest have since closed or become classified as “professional.”)
The six finalists represent thirty-three different people. This appears to be the longest list of people in this category for any given year.
The Semiprozine directory has been updated to reflect the 2019 eligibility of the various publications we know of. To our knowledge, no one has graduated to professional or declared that they would not be participating this year. Editors, if your eligible magazine is not on our list, email books -at- clarkesworld.com and we’ll add you.
We’ve done a quick review of the eligible markets from 2017 and updated it to reflect 2018 eligibility. To our knowledge, no one has graduated to professional or declared that they would not be participating this year. Editors, if your eligible magazine is not on our list, email books -at- clarkesworld.com.
A large number of the 2016 semiprozines didn’t produce issues in 2017 and have been moved to the “may be eligible next year” category. To our knowledge, no one has graduated to professional or declared that they would not be participating this year. Editors, if your eligible magazine is not on our list, email books -at- clarkesworld.com.
We are currently updating the directory to reflect any changes in eligibility for the year ending December 31, 2016. Feel free to comment on this post if you have questions.
The following magazines are no longer eligible for the Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine:
All five are now considered professional by the rules for the category. We’d like to congratulate them on their success and point out that this demonstrates that the revised rules are working as intended.
Please do not nominate these publications, even if you enjoyed them. You’d be tossing away your nomination. Please see the latest edition of the directory for an up-to-date status on eligible nominees. If a market you are interested in is not on the list, please let us know.
