How is the O. Henry Award for the best magazine publishing fiction during a given year determined?
This prize is generally given to the magazine with the most stories selected for a given volume of the O. Henry Awards. For instance, this year The New Yorker placed four stories, as it did in 1998, when it also won the magazine award. The 1997 winner, Epoch had four stories selected for O. Henry Awards. The number of top-prize winners, honorable mention stories, and the overall quality of stories published during the course of the year are also considered and, in the event of a tie, would be the determining factors. The magazine award was first introduced in 1997.
