Retro-Hugos
Retrospective Hugo Awards, or Retro-Hugos, were added to the Hugos in 1996. They were awards given by a convention for years 50, 75, or 100 years earlier in which a Worldcon was held but in which no Hugos were awarded. In 2017, the eligible years were expanded to include years after 1939 in which no Worldcon was held. Retro-Hugos were optional; some Worldcons chose not to award them despite a year being eligible. Of the fifteen eligible years, awards were given for eight. In 2025, the WSFS constitution was amended to remove Retro-Hugos.
