Chicon 7 (Worldcon), the premier gathering of authors, artists, fans, dealers, and more in the world science fiction community, invites artists and designers from around the world to create a base that is worthy of the Hugo Award and with a theme appropriate to Chicago and the Midwest. The Hugo Awards for achievement in science fiction and fantasy have been presented by Worldcons for over 50 years. An instantly recognizable rocket forms the central element of the prestigious trophy, while the base design changes yearly, often reflecting the country, state, or province in which the convention takes place. The winner will receive a full five-day attending membership to Chicon 7!
