Popular Award voted on by readers of the sf news magazine Locus, and presented annually since 1971. Each year's Locus awards normally honour work first published in the previous year. Thanks to their exceptionally wide reader base, these sf awards have come to share the stature of the Hugos (which reflect the preferences of fans and professionals who attend the annual Worldcon) and the Nebulas (which reflect the professional judgment but also sometimes the internal politics of the Science Fiction Writers of America). Where the Hugo and Locus awards differ, it is often thought that the Locus assessment is the more accurate reflection of general reading tastes. The Locus Award is not only good for vanity and sales: it has taken a very attractive form in perspex and metal.
As with the Hugos, the Locus award categories have been subject to some experimental tinkering over the years. Many, naturally enough, correspond to Hugo classifications: novel, novella, novelette, short story, editor (not added until 1989), professional artist, and so on. The novel award was split in 1978 and from 1980 onward to provide a separate fantasy novel category. A further Horror/dark fantasy novel category appeared from 1989 to 1999. The category for first novels – without any genre split – was introduced in the 1981 awards. Young Adult books have had their own category since 2003. Before 1974, the professional artist award was subdivided into paperback-cover and Magazine artists. Further long-established Locus Award categories cover single-author collections (since 1975); Anthologies (since 1981), which was split into original and reprint subcategories from 1972 to 1975; nonfiction, related or reference books (since 1976); art books (since 1979); and book publishers (1972), split between hardcover and paperback publishers in 1975 and 1976 only. The award for critic was short-lived, appearing from 1974 to 1977. Some Fandom categories were initially included, but none survived beyond 1977, at which point Locus itself had won six out of seven Fanzine awards presented.
In recent years, the adoption of on-line voting has thrown open the poll to readers who may see Locus only through its popular website. Many observers felt that these awards' credibility was badly damaged by the handling of the 2008 poll, in which it was announced after polling had closed that the votes of paid-up Locus subscribers would count double. The July 2008 Locus stated: "Connie Willis's The Winds of Marble Arch and Other Stories won with a lead of just over 70 points [. . .] Cory Doctorow's Overclocked came in third – despite having the most votes and the most first-place votes. The doubled subscriber votes made Willis, ever a favourite with Locus subscribers, the winner; without the extra points, she would have come in second behind Doctorow, who has a large online fan base." Why such a radical adjustment of the figures should be either necessary or desirable was not explained. [DRL]
