Retro Hugos
Beginning with the 1996 Worldcon, the World Science Fiction Society created the concept of "Retro Hugos", in which the Hugo award could be retroactively awarded for 50, 75, or 100 years prior. Retro Hugos may only be awarded for years in which a Worldcon was hosted, but no awards were originally given. Retro Hugos have been awarded three times, for 1946, 1951, and 1954. All three of these awards were given 50 years later. The next year that Retro Hugos can be awarded is 2014, for 1939.
