1969 Hugos
Awarded August 30, 1969 by St. Louiscon.
St. Louiscon's categories were the same as Baycon's with the addition of the Best Novella category and continue a long period of relative stable Hugo categories.
Like Baycon, St. Louiscon seems to have had a schizophrenic attitude towards releasing the order of finish in the various categories. The always listed the second place finisher, but only sometimes did they list third place, and they did not rank anything that finished lower than third place.
