2025 Award Eligibility

If you are able to nominate or vote in the Nebula or Hugo Awards, consider including Wicked Problems, the Craft Sequence series, and the Hidden Schools on your ballots!

• Wicked Problems, published on April 9 2024, is eligible for best novel

• The Craft Sequence will be eligible for the Hugo for Best Series. Last year it missed being on the final ballot by 18 votes, so we can do this!

  • “Awarded for multi-installment works appearing in an least three installments with a total of at least 240,000 words. Installments of a series can be of any length; that is, installments of a series do not have to be novel-length works. A qualifying installment must be published in the qualifying year. Once a Series wins the Award, it is no longer eligible even if further installments appear in the series. If a Series is a finalist and does not win, it is no longer eligible until at least two more installments consisting of at least 240,000 words total appear in subsequent years.”

  • The Craft Sequence was last on the ballot in 2017, a qualifying installment was published in the qualifying year (2024), and at least two more installments consisting of at least 240,000 words have been published since then.

• This website may be eligible for some categories of fan project. If you like what we do, consider nominating us!

I even made a graphic for it, because if I don’t, who will?
