The Paramount Awards 2016-17 [CLOSED]

Announcement

This is very important to read for all the judges and participants!

There is a little change in the manner of choosing the winner. Like I said in the Judges chapter, judges are supposed to give points out of fifty, and in Q/A I said that the books will be shuffled, another judge will give the book points out of fifty as well. This would make hundred points, which will be converted into percentage out of fifty. Another fifty percent will be decided by public voting.

Yep, you read it right. We are going to have public voting now. So 50% will be given by judges, and 50% by public. I'll be over-viewing the result and pass it. Then of course the participant with the highest percentage wins!

I hope you all are fine with this change. And please do not comment or PM me for retorting. But you are free to PM me for a valid query.

Judges, Please comment your genre again here, and your second and third preference of genre. Comment in this format please:

Username: 

Genre 1:

Genre 2:

Genre 3: 

I'm telling you to do this for the shuffling. And in case we have more than two people with same Genre 2, some judges will get the genre of their third preference. 

And some judges still happen to be confused about the judging format, so I'll tell it to you again in an easy manner.

· You are supposed to PM me the points you have given to each parameter. The parameters are written in the 'Judges' chapter. Do not comment here, and do not discuss with anyone. Your decision has to be kept as a secret.

  · After you have given the points, another judge will be reading the book you have chosen, as well as the other books in the same genre. After both the judges have chosen a book (whether same or different), public voting will be conducted.

  · The book with the highest points/percentage from each genre wins and gets the prizes that are mentioned in the 'Prizes' chapter.

PM me for any other query, and I will reply as soon as possible.

With love,
