Ted Chiang respectfully declined his nomination for the Best Novelette
category. One short story nominee was replaced since it had been
previously published in 2000. This is David D. Levine's first year of
eligibility for the John W. Campbell Award. Your Hugo Administrator thanks
everyone who took the time to inform him about errors in the original
nominee list. See the link below for more.

Choosing the 2003 Hugo Award Winners
Hugo Award winners are selected in a two-step process
(and, yes, it does take a rocket scientist to tally the ballots). The
first stage is the nomination process. For the 2003 Hugo Awards,
supporting and attending members of ConJosé and Torcon 3 may nominate up
to five candidates in each Hugo Award category. The Torcon 3 Hugo Awards
nomination form will be released in early January 2003. Please remember
that you must be a supporting or attending member of either ConJosé or
Torcon 3 before January 31, 2003 in order to be eligible to make 2003 Hugo
Award nominations.
After the nominations have been tallied and all the nominees have been confirmed, the Torcon 3 Hugo Awards ballot will be released in the spring of 2003. Only supporting or attending members of Torcon 3 will be allowed to vote for the 2003 Hugo Awards. The 2003 Hugo Awards will be announced at a grand ceremony during Torcon 3.
Final Word
The books, stories, artwork, dramatic presentations, and
other works released in 2002 that you are presently viewing are the works
that will be eligible for the 2003 Hugo Awards. As you travel through
2002, please remember that and plan on exercising your special privilege
to nominate and vote for your favorite science fiction experiences of
2002. More information on the Hugo Awards: www.wsfs.org/hugos.html
