This year's award was sponsored by the Edit Red Writing Community (formerly known as Spoiled Ink). As a result of this sponsorship, the award featured a $300 prize for the overall winner and $50 memberships to Edit Red for the authors of the top ten stories of the year.
The 2008 MWA will open to nominations shortly after the start of the new year. Until then, keep an eye out for great online fiction to nominate.
Thanks again for your support.
Congratulations, Catherynne.
