2013 Hugo Awards Trophy Base

We are delighted to announce that Texas artist Vincent Villafranca will be designing the 2013 Hugo Award trophy base. As is traditional, the design will only be revealed at the convention - but we can tell you it's in bronze. And here is a picture (taken by John Davis) of Vincent actually pouring the molten bronze to prove it!
