As is usual practice, the administration of the awards was delegated to the Hugo Administration subcommittee of the 2023 Chengdu Worldcon, and any inquires should be directed to them.

The Hugo Awards website does not administer the Awards. Each year’s Awards are administered by that year’s World Science Fiction Convention, which is solely responsible for the conduct of that year’s Awards. If you send questions regarding the 2023 Hugo Awards to us, we can only forward them to the current year’s Hugo Award Administrators.

Update, 1/20/2024 15:30 PST: A cut-and-paste error in the originally-posted statistics listed “Turing Food Court” twice. One of the two occurrences should have been for “Upstart.” We have updated the document. You may need to reload the page to see the corrected version of the document.
