By tradition, the Hugo voting process also includes the John W Campbell Award for Best New Writer. The Campbell Award is not a Hugo Award, and the rules governing it are determined by the award sponsor, Dell Magazines. However, the award is traditionally selected through the Hugo Awards voting process and presented at the Worldcon Hugo Awards Ceremony.
