Wattpad's Next Rising Star: Cycle 01

Introduction

Hello and welcome to the starting line of the much-awaited competition, Wattpad's Next Rising Star!

Our purpose is to find the next writing star here on Wattpad through our contest, Wattpad's Next Rising Star. We aim at not only making you a well known writer, but also improving you and working with you so that you become a full-rounded author!

To help make this possible, we introduce the 4 judges, @Angellover254 , @Monica4242 , @TakenByHeart , and @Vico96. With each to add his or her own touch and experience to the competition, it will surely be an unforgettable adventure!

So, here we go. May the games begin, and good luck to everyone!

Here is the timeline of the entire competition.

NOTE: Everyone who enters has to make a contest book for this competition, where they'll post all their entries. Meaning, create a new book for this contest, and whenever we ask you to write something, just add it there. Once you make it, please make an introduction(for example, Hi this is my contest book for Wattpad's Next Rising Star. I hope you enjoy my one-shots) and DEDICATE it to us(WattysNextRisingStar) so that we can get it! If you DON'T dedicate, we probably won't see it, and your audition won't count, so don't forget! For an EXAMPLE, go to @Vico96's page and see his contest book 'X Factor For Writers Contest Submissions'. That's what you need to create, a contest book.

Phase One: The Audition

Each of you will audition for us, and will be scored. In the end, out of all the people who auditioned, the 50 with the highest grades move on to Phase Two.

Phase Two: The Camp

The 50 remaining authors will be put through a series of tests, some of which will be easy, and some hard. At the end of Phase Two, 30 people will move on to Phase Three.

Phase Three: The Final Cut

The remaining 30 will be put through one last test, and using ALL the grades from the auditions until the end of Phase Three, the final 16 will be decided.

Through the contest account we'll fan the 16 hopefuls. These 16 will be divided into Groups, A, B, C, and D, each comprising 4 writers. A judge will be randomly assigned to one of the 4 groups to help/mentor the competitors in Phase Four.

NOTE: Anyone reaching the Top 16 may NOT audition for future cycles, should there be any.

Phase Four: The Rounds

Each round will have a different genre, and the remaining 16 have to write a one-shot using that genre. Each judge will grade the one shot for a total score /40. The contestants will ONLY get the scores of their own mentors /10, and not the total sum. After the end of each round, two contestants will be eliminaed until we reach our Top 8, after which they will be eliminated one by one until we have our 3 finalists, one of whom will be crowned Wattpad's Next Rising Star!
