If i am to judge a book called THE BLUE WALLS. I will present my judgement for the genre awards like so.

Cover: 5/5

Total; 100

Then for the other awards you are to give points for each over 100 and a small review(like the reason for the mark).

Example:

Blue walls signed up for the most captivating and best written/constructed.

I will give my review like so:

MOST CAPTIVATING (100/100): It was really interesting. One of the best that I've ever read. It was absolutely the best and it deserves to win that is why i gave it 100.

BEST WRITTEN/ CONSTRUCTED (100/100): It was constructed beautifully. The word play was something else and the plot was properly executed. It deserves to win. 100 for me.

So I hope you all understand. Thank you and welcome once again to the community.
