Okay, so the rules/requirements for entering are simple for The Hidden Gems awards. Here they are:

1. YOUR STORY MUST HAVE LESS THAN 5K READS. I know I've already said this a bunch, but this is for you writers out there who want someone to read and appreciate their work if you feel like you don't have as many reads as you deserve.

2. YOUR BOOK MUST BE ENGLISH OR FRENCH. Sorry, I only speak two languages! I might do a multilingual contest soon if I can find the right judges.

3. FOLLOW THIS ACCOUNT OR katies58 AND thegirlinawhitedress Most contests have this rule, but I'm writing it anyway. Follow this account OR my personal account, and also please follow thegirlinawhitedress because she's my admin for this contest. Thanks! Also maybe go check out the current judges list and follow one for your genre?

4. PUT THE HASHTAG #thehiddengemsawards ON THE STORY YOU ARE ENTERING. This will help spread it around more.

5. BE NOMINATED/NOMINATE SOMEONE! No, you do NOT have to be nominated by someone else. You can totally nominate yourself (PLEASE only comment nominations in THE NEXT PART).

6. ENTER IN THE CORRECT CATEGORY/NOMINATE CORRECTLY. How to do these things will be in the next part, so just keep reading!

7. PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU CHANGE YOUR USERNAME, GENRE, STORY TITLE, ETC. If you don't, your story, may not be considered because all the entry lists in the book and the reading lists will get messed up.

8. AS MANY ENTRIES AS YOU WANT! This isn't really a rule, just clarifying that you can enter as many books as you'd like. :)

Thanks a bunch if you are considering entering, and make sure you follow/respect all rules.
