🔸How we judge:

When list of entries are announced for a genre and its filled, the judges will start judging them.

We have: 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Honorable positions for winners.

Bonus: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd special winners based on public voting.

🔸How will reader's choice/public voting happens?

List of all the participants across all genres (after the slots are filled) will be posted and you have to type +1 to vote.

Can you vote for the same person in different genres? Yes

Can you vote for yourself? No

Can you ask your readers to vote for you? Yes

Can judges vote for a book? No (sorry folks, this is purely reader's choice and if judges voted too, it'd look like they're doing favoritism)

You cannot vote more than 3 per genre, choose your votes wisely, folks ;)

PLEASE REFRAIN FROM BRIBING/BULLYING IN ALL SCENARIOS.

In case you're caught bribing or making spare accounts just to vote for yourself, you'll be banned from all future awards on here.
