nomnom-hugoawards 2026.0.0rc2

The NomNom Hugo Awards voting package

NomNom

A Hugo Awards ballot and nomination management system.

Developed for the Glasgow in 2024 Worldcon.

What this Is

The Hugo Awards are "science fiction’s most prestigious award. The Hugo Awards are voted on by members of the World Science Fiction Convention (“Worldcon”), which is also responsible for administering them."

NomNom is a system for collecting the nominations for the award from members of the current Worldcon to assemble a ballot of finalists, and for voting on those finalists #27.

It additionally will have (these are TODO in the next few months):

• Support for authenticated access to the Hugo packet, if the convention is providing one
• Support for normalizing the nominees into a collection of potential finalists #86
• Support for applying a counting algorithm to select a ballot of finalists from the raw nominees, according to the current process defined in Section 3.8 of the WSFS constitution (EPH, for those following along at home)
• Support for tallying the final votes for the Hugo Awards

Installation

Production

Production installations are more complex than development, but the easiest way is probably with Docker. The template project will have a suitable Dockerfile included in it, which you can use to build the web and worker images. An example production docker-compose can be found in the WorldconVotingSystems/nomnom-g24/ repository.

Development

See the developer docs.
