–  i realized that, for the prizes, i also had said about adding winning books to reading list and somehow forgot to get around it *derp*

so, for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners: here's the reading lists your books will show up in, for recognition/clout/brag reading lists-

1st, 2nd, 3rd, honorable mention - hall of fame // cloud awards on thetranquilityteam (this) profile

1st, 2nd - // let's explore different worlds on Saramitra_ (main) profile

and

1st - specials // cloud awards on thetranquilityteam (this) profile

covers for the HM winners will be distributed as soon as they're done, i didn't realize i had that too *cue facepalm*

– i also realized that, since same people could enter in different genres with different works could mean coinciding winners, which i hadn't thought thoroughly BUT ANYWAYS–  

further winnings across genres will give you, regardless of your position, shoutouts, a badge of recognition as well as added to the reading list... and a cover for your work, if its in HM.

hope that makes sense, or not... my mind's swirling xD

–  regarding the reader's choices awards, we have 8 more days to go (technically 7, but who's counting) xD till 25th.

we already have a few entries across different categories and that's a start!

for the form, i have also attached a copy to the profile so that people who are using ios/android or just their mobile apps for participating can also fill out very easily.

–  there was also a query about if the reader's can nominate other people's works and the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES!

the only issue might be... the email (default) as well the screenshot (in case of undiscovered gems) so let's sort that out.

> i cannot really take the email off, because i want to be able to reach out in case of prize distribution or requirement but you can enter yours and eventually, if the person whom you nominated, wins... i could simply ask their details via information request form. this would ensure things stay tact and in place.

rest assured, your data is safe, no harmful and/or ulterior intentions involved here, just makes the communication easy since wattpad DMs have closed away.

> for the undiscovered gems, you could still share/nominate on basis of reads (if its below 2k) and that can be easily seen, so regardless of if you can get the insider screenshot, if you can get the main page screenshot that can prove the number of reads are below 2k, sure, go ahead.

> Wattpad Username, Book Name and Category would then depend on THE PERSON WHOM YOU ARE NOMINATING and not yours (since you're nominating someone else's work) and a confusion in this could lead to elimination.

> As a reader, you can nominate many works, but if you're nominating your own work, please keep it to one, we want to see unique entries across all genres.

What if a you/reader has nominated the same work? in that case, one the priority is given to the writer who's book is being nominated (considering, they nominated their own work)

What if two or more readers nominated same book under different categories? its a first come, first serve priority then... just to keep things less confusing for everyone involved.

> What if a category becomes full? in the mini-awards, the category is just a baseline, so even if there's more entries, they're welcome! and even if they're underfilled, they can still be considered (except, it should at the least have 4 entries) without which, it cannot make a fair play.

> What if mine's an artbook? You could still nominate yourself for best cover, and for the rest, you can have any work that has a story in it (just don't start adding awards/community books, please)

all these what if's are also going to be posted on the RCA book keep an eye out for the update.

– regarding the interviews, i am still catching on to the ones that were already filled and the others, i hope to send out soon and get it updated when i can!

– the miscellaneous entries are going to need a bit of revamp but i will try to keep it to 6 now and judge them all. i am almost halfway done, just removing entries when their results are posted.

i guess that's for now, catch y'll on the other side! :D

any doubts? ask them here! ➸

cheers,
thetranquilityteam!
