Any award eventually becomes incestuous or tainted over time.
I think Nancy Fulda is writing some very traditional sci/fi. She only writes short stories, but it's very much in line with the trad themes. One of hers was nominated for one of those sci/fi awards. It's the one with the dance on the front. It was originally published by Baen, I think. Movement? I can't recall the name. Have to look. But she has an anthology out too and it has a lot of traditional mixed in with a couple of fun ones. I'm more the "fun" reader, but her writing is strong regardless of the theme or style she chooses.
