Whenever I see this, (and I see it with surprising frequency) I wonder. . . If it’s unpublished, then who’s read it? Or voted for it? How do you get nominated for it? Where do you submit to be eligible? Who is putting up the cash for the winner? Does it even genuinely exist? If it’s just a joke, (my first guess) why is it STILL going on? Mike Resnick and Lou Tabakow often joked about it, and between them awarded it to Lou. (Hey, it got 2 votes, which made it unanimous!) But there was no prize money or trophy involved, just laughs. And they’re both dead now.
