Le prix Hugo est decerné chaque année aux meilleurs récits de science-fiction ou de fantasy publiés l'année précédente, ainsi qu'à d’autres catégories tels les fanzines ou les productions cinématographiques. Le nombre de catégories a évolué au fil du temps, à mesure que la science-fiction s’étendait à de nouveaux médias. Les lauréats sont élus par un collège de fans de science-fiction et reçoivent leur prix lors de l'annuelle Convention Mondiale de Science-Fiction, la World Science Fiction Convention aussi appelée Worldcon. Le nom de la récompense rend hommage à Hugo Gernsback, fondateur d’un des premiers magazines de science-fiction américain Amazing Stories. 1, record 5, French, - prix%20Hugo
