The Hugo Awards
The Hugo® is the top award for excellence in the field of science fiction and fantasy. Hugos are presented each year at the World Science Fiction Convention, by the World Science Fiction Society. All Worldcon members are entitled to nominate and vote for their favorites. 2007 Hugo Ceremony

Each Worldcon may also create its own additional Hugo category, which is awarded through the same process as the ongoing categories. Nippon 2007 did not choose to do this. See the Worldcon Constitution for details. A full list of the current award categories with definitions is available at the Emerald City web site. Hugo Nomination and VotingVoting for the Hugo Awards took place in two stages.
The John W. Campbell Best New Writer Award isn't a Hugo (i.e. no rocket trophy), but nomination and balloting are done along with the Hugos, and the Award is presented at Worldcon. Writertopia has the Campbell Award page on their web site with details.
