I just checked all of your stories, even the short or random ones, @BrokenDove
          	  
          	  They were all made before January 2023. The Wattys won't accept your full novels. The dates they were made don't match up with stories created after January 2023, which is their deadline. They make it hard for people to join the contest. Once the winner come available, you can check those book's statues. Each story should say their creation date is on or after January 2023. If not, then the contest host let a book slip through.

Hey. So, if I understand correctly, y'all couldn't enter your stories based on when they were published. If that's the case, the hosts running the Wattys contest want stories created after their deadline. If they want stories after January 1, 2023, then all stories must be created afterward. We can hover over the story status (whether complete or ongoing) in the browser to see when a story was first made. For the Wattys, the creation date must be after January 2023, which is why stories created in 2022 or before (even if they are rewritten and posted) is not eligible. The hosts do not want to blatantly say that they look for creation dates, but they do. Too many people unpublish their chapters and republish with a new publishing date listed in the chapters. The contest will say, "Anything posted after their date is eligible," but really, the stories are not. To enter a story, a writer needs to create a new book to adhere the contests' guidelines. The creation dates matter for Wattpad, which is why I stopped entering contests on my main account. The contests are rigged anyway.

No fr lol…all of a sudden I can’t enter my book from 2022 or my sequel from 2023…as if these are super old books. 
          	  
          	  I get what they’re trying to do…they just failed. 
          	  
          	  Yes hype up newer stories, I’m down with that…but don’t say anything because 2023 is not accepted. It was not like this last year or prior
