Minor changes from original awards list made to facilitate cross-year comparison and lists. For example:
- As of 2023, Winners are labeled "Outstanding Achievement"; I have left it at Winner to indicate similarity to previous years.
- Category names changed over time. When the change indicates a shift in thinking about a field, I've changed it, otherwise I've kept it consistent. For example, Interdisciplinary/Multidisciplinary and Multidiscplinary/Interdisciplinary was condensed to one, but Interdisciplinary/Media Studies is kept distinct.
