The Best Novel Hugo category is the oldest Hugo category, having been awarded each year since the beginning of the Hugo Awards in 1953 except for 1957.

For the purposes of the Hugos, a novel is defined as a story of 40,000 words or more. (In the early days there was no precise definition and the category was defined by the voters.)
