The Hugos are awarded by the World Science Fiction Society at its annual convention. In 2004, at Noreascon 4, the 62nd Convention of the World Science Fiction Society, I had the opportunity to photograph an historic collection of past awards:

(This is a no-frills gallery of snapshots I took with my own camera. I have to add captions and convention names, and I also, obviously, have to go back and color correct them, since the background should be a med-light grey in most of the pictures....) Photos of 2005 Hugo Award added 08/2005. Photos of the 2006 and 1969 Hugos added 8/30/2006.
