The Hugo Award for Best Poem is a special, one-time category of the Hugo Awards given in 2025 for science fiction or fantasy poems at least three lines in length published or translated into English during the previous calendar year. It was chosen by Seattle Worldcon as its optional "Additional Category"[1] (pursuant to Rule 3.3.20 of the CONSTITUTION of the World Science Fiction Society, as of August 12, 2024).[2]
Hugo Award nominees and winners are chosen by supporting or attending members of the annual World Science Fiction Convention, or Worldcon, and the presentation evening constitutes its central event. The selection process is defined in the World Science Fiction Society Constitution as instant-runoff voting with six finalists, except in the case of a tie. [3] Initial nominations are made by members in January through March, while voting on the ballot of six finalists is performed roughly in April through July, subject to change depending on when that year's Worldcon is held.[4] Worldcons are generally held near Labor Day, and are held in a different city around the world each year.[5][6]
