HUGO AWARD FOR BEST PROFESSIONAL ARTIST

The Hugo Awards are given annually by members of the World Science Fiction Convention for the best science fiction or fantasy works. The awards are named after Hugo Gernsback, the founder of the pioneering science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, and given in various categories.
The winners for the 'Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist' are presented here. The exact name of this category has changed over the years. The award was for "Best Cover Artist" in 1953. The award was for "Best Artist" in 1955-56 and 1965.
This award is for artists who work for professional publications; in 1967 a separate Hugo Award was created for artists who worked primarily for non- or low-paying fanzines and semi-professional magazines.
