Hugo-palkintoja jaetaan joka vuosi edellisen vuoden parhaille science fiction- ja fantasiasaavutuksille. Palkinto on nimetty Hugo Gernsbackin, Amazing Stories -lehden perustajan mukaan.

Astounding Award for Best New Writer
John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer -palkinto myönnetään parhaalle uudelle kirjailijalle. Se ei ole varsinaisesti osa Hugo-palkintoja, mutta palkinnon voittaja valitaan Worldconissa samalla menetelmällä kuin Hugo-voittajatkin. Palkinnon voi saada kirjailija, jonka ensimmäinen ammattimainen science fiction- tai fantasiajulkaisu on ilmestynyt kahden viimeisen vuoden sisällä.
Palkinto nimettiin vuonna 2020 uudestaan Astounding Award for Best New Writeriksi, sen jälkeen kun vuoden 2019 voittaja Jeannette Ng oli palkintopuheessaan kritisoinut Campbellin fasistisia näkemyksiä.
