Nominations are open for both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, and wouldn’t you know it, Tor.com had the honor of publishing some eligible works in 2011!
The Hugo and Nebula Awards are presented each year to outstanding works of science fiction, fantasy, horror, or related fiction genre published during the previous year.
Hugo winners are selected by the members of Worldcon. The next convention is Chicon 7, in Chicago, IL, but members from last year are also eligible to nominate; you need to buy at least a supporting membership for Chicon by January 31 in order to nominate.
The Hugo nominations period is open through Monday, March 26th, 2012. The rules are here, and you may nominate up to five works in each category.
The Nebula Awards are voted on by active members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc. (SFWA for short). Nebula nominations are open through Wednesday, February 15, and the form is here; you must be a SFWA member, and logged in, to nominate. Here is a detailed description of how the voting works.
