On the very rare occasions when I have been eligible to nominate or vote for the Hugo (or any other literary award for that matter) I have not done so because I've never had the time, inclination or opportunity to read/see all the candidates, and I feel that an uninformed vote is worthless. I have subsequently read some of the winners and nominees and liked and loathed them in roughly equal proportions.
So I do not have a horse in this race.
Nevertheless I confess to having spent some time indulging in the game of designing this year's Hugo award trophy as a way of lulling myself to sleep in the stilly watches of the night. Better than counting sheep.
