Catalogue note
VICE Volume 4 Number 8, The First Annual Story Awards, a free UK edition built around reader- and contributor-driven personal storytelling presented as an awards show. The issue groups first-person anecdotes into categories such as Action, True Crime, Chemicals, Romance and Rock and Roll, with Patrick O’Dell photographing the cover and award presenters. Its surviving online counterpart is tagged by VICE as The Stories Issue / global Volume 13 Issue 8. The object documents a moment when VICE’s early free-magazine culture was formalising anecdote, confession and subcultural storytelling into an editorial format that foreshadowed the brand’s later emphasis on first-person and immersive narrative.
