📌 We have not exclusively tagged or highlighted the winners names, rather we are publishing the scores and reviews of all the entries at first. Further on, once we have all the genres up, a separate chapter with the list of winners will go up highlighting the names. However, it'd be quite evident by scores as to who is leading in a particular category!
📌 We will contact the winners regarding prizes after publishing the results of all the genres. Given that Wattpad DMs are no longer a way to communicate, we will reach out to the winners and establish a route through which the prizes can be delivered.

[Do give the judge a follow, or, a shoutout of appreciation to any of their works on your message board by tagging them]Title: Eden at Yuletide
Author: ella_rowanTotal Score: 84/100
Strength: I absolutely adore the writing style. It is fresh and interesting to read. I love the minute details of Eden's character slowly being incorporated right from the opening scene. The aesthetics add more to the beauty of the book and overall I loved how the author has carried out their book.
What can be improved?: One area of improvement I would suggest is the usage of punctuations. I noticed that at many places, especially the first chapter, which is basically the first impression of your book,has punctuation errors. Secondly, the cover can have more expressive details. Next, your descriptions are surely intricate but it lacks the showing element. Moreover, the blurb can be more articulate with details hinting at what your story will likely convey in the future. Lastly, the pacing of the book is slow, which may lead to disinterest in the readers.
Suggestions:
Proofread your work before you hit the publish button. There are plenty of websites online which might help you with the same free of cost if you find it difficult.
Revisit your blurb and cover. It is important to make sure that your first impression makes a long lasting impact on the readers.
Incorporate the show vs tell method in your work. It will make your book more intricate. Everyone loves a well detailed writeup. Trying showcasing emotions through actions rather than simply narrating. Readers usually love when there is a balance between showing and telling rather than simply overdoing one thing.
