In 2010, Interfaces received the Parnassus Award for Significant Editorial Achievement from The Council of Editors of Learned Journals. This competition solicits a single issue, published within the previous 3 years, that constitutes an unusually high realization of the belletristic journal's mission in combination with application of the highest standards of "learned" editorial practice--understood to encompass editing for selection of high-quality content, compelling arrangement of contents, style, visual appeal and readability, etc.
