Best Pro Editor, Short
1 - John Joseph Adams (Lightspeed)
2 - Neil Clarke (Clarkesworld)
3 - Sheila Williams (Asimov's)
4 - Ellen Datlow (Tor.com)
5 - No Award
(Honestly I'd be happy to see any of those four win, this was very hard to rank.)
Best Pro Editor, Long
1 - Liz Gorinsky
2 - Sheila E. Gilbert
3 - No Award
4 - Jim Minz
5 - Toni Weisskopf
6 - Vox Day
Best Pro Artist
1 - Michal Karcz
2 - Abigail Larson
3 - No Award
4 - Larry Rostant
5 - Larry Elmore
(They're all rabid but I actually liked Karcz's work, and Larson's was okay.)
Best Semiprozine
1 - Strange Horizons
2 - Daily Science Fiction
3 - Uncanny Magazine
4 - Beneath Ceaseless Skies
5 - Sci Phi Journal
(This was also not easy. DSF is such a different and interesting format. I'm definitely reading Uncanny next year (uh, this year) in my search for short fiction, there's really good stuff in their sample. Beneath Ceaseless Skies has had some great stories this year too.)
Best Fanzine
1 - Lady Business
2 - File 770
3 - No Award
Best Fancast

Best Fan Writer
1 - Mike Glyer
2 - No Award
Best Fan Artist
1 - No Award
The John W. Campbell Not A Hugo
1 - Alyssa Wong
2 - Andy Weir
3 - No Award
(I'm not even convinced Weir should be eligible for this, but what the hell, if the com thinks he is, I liked his book, fuck it.)
