The Seraph Awards (OPEN)

Judging - Short Story

The Short story genre is ready for judging as all 15 slots have been filled. Judges will be allotted 5 books each that they have to read and score according to the judging criteria provided (Please check the Judges Criteria chapter to be sure).

Participants, remember to follow the three judges for this genre to show your appreciation since judging requires a lot of time and effort.

The judges are -
1. DyingWhale21 
2. cee_is_sassy 
3. Proudly_Weird 

Judges when you send in the scores, we want you to provide us a reason for the scoring as well. We want a minimum of two lines at least. We're not asking for a full review but we do ask you to give a reason for each score that you give.

For eg - Cover: 4/5
"I think the cover was well structured and caught the essence of the book. If I did see it in a book store, I would be immediately drawn to it. "

Judges have until the 12th of February, 2018 to read and score their books. Scores have to come in by maximum 12th February. If you finish before that, then awesome because we get closer to announcing the results.

While judging also keep in mind the special categories - Best Cover, Best Female Protagonist, Best Male Protagonist, Best Antagonist and Most Interesting Plot. If you find a story/character fits any of these categories, then let us know!
