Miss Congeniality

Sash created in 2017 to accompany the Miss Congeniality award. The sash shows a picture of a lantern and says "Miss Congeniality."

The Miss Congeniality awards are decided by votes from the authors of the current entries. This award was first made in 1996, the second year of the competition.

In 2017, Arthur DiBianca had a sash made to accompany the award. A photo of the sash on a dressmaker's mannequin appears in this post at intfiction.org.
