Winners Introduction!

Welcome to the winners' section everyone !

I'm Sel  floremaria, the one who'll announce to you all the result. You may think that's very praiseworthy, but I think that the judges are the ones who deserve it more. Think about it- it's summer, but they still chose to read your entries, and give recognition to a lot of you. Apricity31 , Syverii, Appledip_14, I appreciate all of you.

Together, we're an unbeatable team.

Thank you or judging. Don't forget to show them love here guys. They deserve it. They're also some of the sweetest people I know. And the tallest *winks at Syverii*

Another thank you to all the participants. In the name of all the admins and members, we feel so lucky that you chose our award to participate in. *sending you hugs and kisses*

Before we get started, a few reminders.

1.       Poetry is art. There's no good or bad. All tastes are different. Just because you didn't make it as a winner here, doesn't mean it's bad. Participate in more awards, get more people to read it by being genuine, and supportive. You'll get supportive people back. Sometimes it's because you haven't figured your style. Sometimes it because not enough people haven't read your work.

2.       Pay attention to spelling and grammar. If your topic is good, and the idea is very creative, but we can't read it till the end, we will never be able to appraise you for it. There are lots of communities on wattpad that edit your work for maybe a follow or shoutout. PM (private message) me if you would like to know some of them.  Or you can do it yourself by learning more about the English language. There's also free editors on the internet. Google them 😊

3.       Some sort of organization helps. Let the reader know in the description what the poetry will be about. Its ok if its vague. You can say 'poetry about nature' if that's what it is. We just want to know what to expect.

4.       In poetry, less is more. If you can describe a feeling simply, please do. Don't use sophisticated words if its not necessary. Go for understandable. Go for 'three words says more than 17' if it says just enough. 

5.       Don't forget that wattpad is a community while also being a place where you share your stories. Engage with writers, spam the chapters you like, support your favorite writers by following them, and sharing their stories. This will help you get reads, and bring people that will help you improve your writing. They'll see things you don't. or suggest you improve a few things. Those people are important. They can only be found this way.

6.       'the moment you give up is the moment you fail." You're an awesome poet. Don't give up just yet. I believe in you :X

Ok this is getting long. Let's just announce the winners.
