All Worldcons follow the rules of the World Science Fiction Society, also known as WSFS (“whiz-fizz”). All Worldcons have specific duties and responsibilities that occur at each convention as determined by the WSFS Constitution. One of the more well known elements is the Hugo Awards, a fan-voted award for science fiction and fantasy.
