The year 1953 was marked, in science fiction, by the following events.
The first Hugo Awards were presented at the 11th Worldcon in Philadelphia in 1953, which awarded Hugos in seven categories.[1] The awards presented that year were initially conceived as a one-off event, though the organizers hoped that subsequent conventions would also present them.[2] At the time, Worldcons were completely run by their respective committees as independent events and had no oversight between years. Thus there was no mandate for any future conventions to repeat the awards, and no set rules for how to do so.[3]
The 1954 Worldcon chose not to, but the awards were reinstated at the 1955 Worldcon, and thereafter became traditional. The award was called the Annual Science Fiction Achievement Award, with "Hugo Award" being an unofficial, but better known name.[4] The nickname was accepted as an official alternative name in 1958, and since the 1992 awards the nickname has been adopted as the official name of the award.[5][6]
The awards presented in 1953 were initially conceived as "one-off" awards, and the 1954 Worldcon decided not to present them again.
