I've been culling old files, and I came across my list of early contest winners. Very few readers will remember these publications: 

Sugar Time collects Joy V. Smith's Sugar Sweet stories into one volume, but the first Sugar Time edition was a semi-finalist in the 1996 N3F contest.

Pretty Pink Planet got an Honorable Mention in the 1993 N3F short story contest and the 1995 Dark Dixie contest and 3rd place in the 1995 Dragon Dreaming contest.

Hot Yellow Planet was a semi-finalist in the 1994 N3F contest.

The Doorway and Other Stories includes Pilot's Course (1995 FFWA/Andre Norton Short Story Award), Carnies (1997 Killer Frog contest runner-up), and Too Tight (2nd place in 1993 Oops Award.rom back in the day:

Hidebound was co-winner in the Fifth Di novette contest [1996]) and also co-winner in the 1998 Once Upon A World contest.
