Welcome to The Reader Choices Hidden Crown Awards! There are so many amazing books on Wattpad that deserve more love and attention, but sadly, a lot of them stay hidden. Some stories have thousands or even millions of reads, while other incredible stories are still waiting for the right readers to find them. That is why I created these awards. The Reader Choices Hidden Crown Awards is all about finding those hidden gems, supporting writers, discovering new stories and giving authors a chance to have their work recognised. This isn't about how many followers you have. It isn't about how many reads your book has. And you definitely don't have to be a massive Wattpad author to enter. Your story could have 50 reads, 500 reads or 50,000 reads. What matters is the story you've created and the effort you've put into it. There will be different categories, rounds, shortlists and eventually our winners who will take home their Hidden Crown! 👑 Readers will also have the chance to discover books they may have never found before and support authors throughout the awards. Please remember that everyone who enters has put time, effort and love into their stories. Be kind, support each other and don't bring other writers down because this is supposed to be fun. You might enter thinking your story doesn't have a chance... But maybe your book is exactly the hidden gem we've been looking for. 👀👑 More stories. More voices. More recognition. Welcome to The Reader Choices Hidden Crown Awards. Your crown might be closer than you think. 👑✨

Welcome to Fantasy Pitch Wars! A pitch is a 100-word (or less) summary of a full-length novel, telling potential readers about the main character, the conflict, and the stakes in a compact, bite-sized manner. This is the heart of a story and something you would tell a stranger in an elevator ride if you want to talk about your story. In Pitch Wars, test the waters and find potential readers by telling us about your stories, whether they are already completed, currently ongoing, or are yet to be written! Discover ways to make your fantasy stories shine. Interested? Learn more about this challenge inside. Check out the 2025 and 2024 Outstanding Pitches inside!

Beckon the witches and warlocks alike to join in the chaos of breaking through the veil that separates the living from the dead. Ghouls and Ghosts bring things that bump in the night; an award full of tantalizing frights awaits! Who says scary can't be fun? lol Have a story about a witch who can't get her spells right, or a Ghost who keeps stealing the socks of the person living in their house!? A story of comedy where a werewolf who is raising a cute kitten causes chaos in his pack? Maybe ghouls promoting their own skin care products, but the results weren't expected? What about a romcom between two supernatural beings, one good and one evil? As long as these stories meet the other requirements, you can submit them for consideration. You have a story about a werecreature but not a werewolf, it can enter the category too. Werecat, wererabbit, I know werebunnies are out there lol.
