Winners of the Hugo Award for Best Related Work, awarded from 2010 onwards. This award was previously Best Non-Fiction Book until 1998 and Best Related Book from 1999 to 2009.[1] The Hugo Awards are given annually by members of the World Science Fiction Convention for the best science fiction or fantasy works. The awards are named after Hugo Gernsback, the founder of the pioneering science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, and given in various categories.

This award category is defined in Article 3.3.5 of the Constitution of the World Science Fiction Society as, "Any work related to the field of science fiction, fantasy, or fandom, appearing for the first time during the previous calendar year or which has been substantially modified during the previous calendar year, and which is either non-fiction or, if fictional, is noteworthy primarily for aspects other than the fictional text, and which is not eligible in any other category."[1] Awards given in one year are for works released during the previous calendar year.

Winners and other nominees

This category replaced the Best Non-Fiction category awarded from 1980 to 1998.

Retro Hugos

Retrospective Hugo Awards (normally abbreviated "Retro Hugos") may be awarded by Worldcons held 50, 75, or 100 years after a Worldcon where no Hugos had been awarded (i.e. 1939–41, 1946–52 and 1954). These Retro Hugos are selected by the same process as the regular Hugos. The next Worldcon at which any Retro Hugo may be awarded will be the 2014 Worldcon, the 75th anniversary of the 1st World Science Fiction Convention in 1939.
