It seems to have had a fraught history. There was an online discussion in 1998 and Bridget Hardcastle posted:
We tried to administer the Ken MacIntyre award at the 1996 Eastercon. Both the original and the published form of the artwork need to be displayed, and must be judged by a panel of five people including (I think - my brain is being severely dredged at this point) a con committee member, a Knight of St Fantony, a member of some other group (either Brum, BSFA or FoF, I forget) and two other people chosen in an arcane manner.
Later, Bernard Peak posted
The Ken MacIntyre award is in an even worse state. It wasn't mentioned in the con publications this year [1998] and wasn't awarded. The award was originally intended to be for fanzine art. The conditions laid down for choosing the recipient makes it very difficult to administer. Because it's theoretically possible to meet the conditions, no Eastercon feels that it has the authority to change the rules.
In 1989 the rules were reported as:
The Ken McIntyre award is given for the best fanzine artwork of the year. All pieces of art must be nominated in advance. Both the original artwork and a published copy must be on display at the con. The winner is chosen by a committee that consists of: 1) A BSFA nominee, 2) A Knights of St.Fantony nominee, 3) The convention committee nominee, 4) Rog Peyton (or proxy), 5) A.N.Other. In the event that any of these members is not available, then the remaining members of the Ken McIntyre award committee may select others to make up the number.
...this all seems pretty complicated...
