John Lorentz & Ruth Sachter, Hugo Award Administrators
We hope you’ve been spending this summer reading the books and stories, watching the films and television programs, and enjoying your favorite magazines so you’ll be ready when the 1998 Hugo Awards nominating ballots are mailed out next January.
It’s important to remember that Bucconeer will be held in early August
next year, instead of the traditional Labor Day Weekend. This means that
the Hugo deadlines will also be earlier than the traditional dates:
| Nominating ballots mailed

| Deadline for receiving nominations |
March 10, 1998 |
| Deadline for receiving fina
ballots |
We realize that the schedule above is very tight, but the nominating and final ballots will also be available on the Bucconeer web site a soon as they’re ready, as well as any decisions on questionable nominees. (No, none of the Star Wars trilogy "Special Edition" films are eligibl in 1998.) Once the nominees are known, we’re hoping to have many of them—if not all—available on the Web so people can make informed decisions. You can contact us at the Bucconeer postal address or at hugo.admin@bucconeer.worldcon.org
