2020 Hugo Award Finalists for Best Semiprozine
Congratulations to the 2020 Hugo Award finalists for Best Semiprozine:
- Beneath Ceaseless Skies
- Escape Pod
- Fireside
- FIYAH
- Strange Horizons
- Uncanny
All six finalists have been on the ballot at least once in previous years. Uncanny is the only previous winner on the ballot. (Aside from Weird Tales and Interzone, they are the only previous winner still eligible and publishing. The rest have since closed or become classified as “professional.”)
The six finalists represent thirty-three different people. This appears to be the longest list of people in this category for any given year.
