Various fans and organizations maintain recommendation lists of likely candidates, including Science Fiction Awards Watch, the New England Science Fiction Association, and the hugo_recommend LiveJournal community. Anticipation will be presenting a special category Hugo for Best Graphic Story (for more details, consult the press release here: http://anticipationsf.ca/Press/PressRelease11).
