The 2022 Hugo Voters Packet is currently available to members of Chicon 8, the 80th World Science Fiction Convention, until close of voting on August 11th. Many thanks to the finalists who have shared materials for the consideration of Hugo voters and to the Hugo administrators for putting it all together!
On the download page, each category has a ZIP file except for Best Fancast which has been divided into two parts due to size. Inside each ZIP file is a table of contents in PDF format detailing the material provided for that category. Note that updates were made after the original release in the following categories: Best Novella, Best Short Story, Best Editor: Short Form, Best Editor: Long Form, and Best Fancast (File 770 has the details).
In the following breakdown, I have noted the main items included next to each category name and added links where work is available online to everyone. At the very bottom is a summary totaling all of these items. I’m pleased to see most finalists provided information on their eligible work and in many cases the full work itself. Of particular note is the complete nominated episode for one of the Short Form Best Dramatic Presentation finalists as well as work included for both Short and Long Form Best Editor categories.
Where I found formatting issues, I have put an asterisk next to the affected file types and added some notes on the problems. These are typically caused by an automatic conversion from a fixed format (PDF) to a reflowable format (EPUB, MOBI). In many cases, it’s just distracting. In a few, they are rendered pretty much unreadable.
The books accessed through NetGalley links are DRM protected. The easiest way to read these is with the NetGalley Shelf app for Android or iOS. To read on Kindle devices or mobile apps, you will need to add your device’s email address to your NetGalley profile and set kindle@netgalley.com as an approved email to receive files from in your Amazon account. The book will be available to download to any other Kindle device or mobile app logged into your Amazon account, but DRM will tie that copy to the device or app it is downloaded to. To read on your computer or other ereaders and apps, choose the “Download Protected EPUB” option. You will need to install Adobe Digital Editions and authorize it with an Adobe ID. Here the DRM will allow you to read on any device or app authorized with the same Adobe ID. Both these and the books accessed through the NetGalley Shelf app are set to expire 55 days after downloading. If needed, you can download books again up until the archive date set by the publisher. All are available until the voting deadline. See NetGalley’s device guide for more details.
Please let me know if you find any errors or omissions. For issues with the packet, email hugo-help@chicon.org. Happy reading, watching, listening, and viewing!
