In 2007, the magazine once again bested its own ASME awards performance, with seven nominations (including one in the Public Interest category for Robert Kolker’s story ^[1]) and five wins, including a rare repeat award for General Excellence. Much of the coverage the next day noted that the magazine's sometime rival, The New Yorker, took home no awards that night, despite receiving nine nominations, and also noted that New York was the first magazine to win for both its print and Internet editions in the same year. Though media coverage rarely forms a consensus, most press critics have considered Moss's remade magazine a success, and suggest that it has improved substantially under his leadership.

Puzzles and competitions

New York Magazine was once known for its competitions and unique crossword puzzles.

In the remaining two weeks out of every three, Sondheim's friend Mary Ann Madden edited an extremely popular witty literary competition calling for readers to send in humorous poetry or other bits of wordplay on a theme that changed with each installment. (A typical entry, in a competition calling for humorous epitaphs, supplied this one for Geronimo: "Requiscat in Apache. ") Altogether, Madden ran 973 installments of the competition, retiring in 2000. Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of entries were received each week, and winners included the likes of David Mamet, Herb Sargent, and Dan Greenburg. David Alan Mamet (born November 30, 1947) is an American Author, Essayist, Playwright, Screenwriter and Herbert Sargent ( July 15, 1923 - May 6, 2005) was an Emmy Award -winning American Television writer a producer Dan Greenburg (born June 20, 1936) is an American Author and Screenwriter.

The Competition's demise, when Madden retired, was greatly lamented among its fans. In August 2000, the magazine published a letter from an Irish contestant, John O'Byrne, who wrote: "How I'll miss the fractured definitions, awful puns, conversation stoppers, one-letter misprints, ludicrous proverbs, openings of bad novels, near misses, et al (what a nice guy Al is!). " Many entrants have since migrated to the Washington Post's similar "Style Invitational" feature. The Washington Post is the largest and most circulated Newspaper in Washington D The Style Invitational, or SI, is a long-running humor contest that ran first in the Style section of the Sunday Washington Post and currently is in Saturday's Style Three volumes of Competition winners were published, titled Thank You for the Giant Sea Tortoise, Son of Giant Sea Tortoise, and Maybe He's Dead: And Other Hilarious Results of New York Magazine Competitions.
