The first ever Book City Awards are here!!!
OPEN(✅) JUDGING() CLOSED()
Want your book to be in a honest competition where reads doesn't matter?
You have come to the right place where our judges will only see your talent and skills.
May the best book...
One thing we all agree upon is that rules suck. But we have to go over them and you have to follow them... at ALL costs
1. Only English books are allowed to enter the competition.
2. Mature and LGBTQ content is welcomed.
3. Do not change the title of your book or your username after registering yourself. We won't be able to find you and we will have no choice but to exile you from the city.
4. All books under 25k reads are allowed to enter. Sorry but we want to give other books a chance to win and gain recognition.
5. All prizes/stickers will be emailed to the winners.
6. If you want to back out from the competition, please inform us timely so we can find a replacement.
7. The book should at least have 5 chapters and in case of poetry, there should be at least 5 poems in your collection. We won't be judging single poems.
8. To participate you have to follow this account, add this book to your reading list and do a shout out on your account.
9. You should also follow our Instagram Account for all the updates. https://www.instagram.com/bookcitycommunity/ or simply search bookcitycommunity
10. Following the judges is not mandatory but after they spent hour judging your stories, it is the least you can do for them.
11. If anyone is found bribing the judge we will have to disqualify them... Sorry but we can't compromise dishonesty.
