Formerly the James Tiptree, Jr. Literary Award: "an annual literary prize for science fiction or fantasy that expands or explores our understanding of gender... The aim of the award is to seek out work that is thought-provoking, imaginative, and perhaps even infuriating." (from the website)

Annual award winners listed chronologically back to the award's origin in 1991; some standalone stories aren't (yet?) available to be included. Note that some years have multiple winners.

Per the Mythopoeic Society, Mythopoeic literature is work "that creates a new and transformative mythology, or incorporates and transforms existing mythological material. Transformation is the key — mere static reference to mythological elements, invented or pre-existing, is not enough. The mythological elements must be of sufficient importance in the work to influence the spiritual, moral, and/or creative lives of the characters, and must reflect and support the author's underlying themes. This type of work, at its best, should also inspire the reader to examine the importance of mythology in his or her own spiritual, moral, and creative development." It is creative work that exemplifies "the spirit of the Inklings", a writers circle consisting of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams.
