This looks like one of the larger awards - lots of categories, lots of room for applicants.
I am pretty sure I entered Ancilla, Excavations, and an art book. By now I have two art books, but I probably entered Wild Is the Wind because it has more material in it. art? graphics? would only have had three or four pages when I entered this contest, and not an awful lot of art, relatively speaking.

Ah. General Fiction. Figures. :)

Oh, well.

Wild Is the Wind: The Art of Ancilla was not named among the winners, but the perfect score would indicate the same First Place in the "combined miscellaneous and sundry" category, the same First Place that Excavations received, also with a perfect score.
