====== 2013 Turtledove Awards Winners ======

The Turtledove Awards for 2012 were held in January and February 2013. 

They introduced several **new categories**, particularly the **Alternate History Features** and the **Robert P. Perkins Award for Outstanding Contributions to Alternate History** (intended as a Hall of Fame-style award). The latter was **set up in memoriam of [[offtopic:robertp6165]]**, who's untimely passing in early September 2012 shocked the AH.com community.
