I haven't had a lot of involvement with fanfic awards because I'm neither that prolific a writer or contributor to any particular fandom. However, I'm not sure that fandom, which for me is something that's supposed to be fun and freeing, needs to be made competitive.
The couple of fanfic awards I am aware of look from the outside to be a big jerk-off of the inner circle of that particular fandom; a mutual patting on the back leaving those who are less prolific feeling excluded and not needed or wanted.
