1960 Hugo Results

Awarded September 5, 1960 by Pittcon. The Hugo categories changed yet again, dropping to six categories as P Schuyler Miller explained, "for the simple reason that Ben Jason had six of the original Hugo rockets left and let us have them." Whatever the reason, the set of Hugos categories awarded by Pittcon became the standard for a time.

Besides the six Hugos, Pittcon gave a special committee award to "Hugo Gernsback - The Father of Magazine Science Fiction". This was also a Hugo trophy — the prohibition against using the Hugo rocket for non-Hugos did not yet exist.
