Comments: By 1993, the Mythopoeic Awards had developed into their fully formed modern version. All four of the current categories had been established by the Mythopoeic Society. All four of the award categories listed both the winning entry and the full slate of non-winning nominees. Although the Mythopoeic Awards had long been leaps and bounds ahead of most other genre awards in terms of things like genre equity, they had lagged behind when it came to their reporting methods, so the change made in 1992 and stuck with in 1993 and thereafter was a welcome development.
