Remarks:
The New York convention added three categories -- none of which survived in the long-run: feature writer, book reviewer, and most promising new writer [though this last could be seen as a progenitor of the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer].

Update September 2017: Finalists for this year's Hugo Awards were just discovered and released at http://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/1956-hugo-awards/.
