I found another award book that looks interesting: https://www.wattpad.com/story/388364589-%F0%9D%90%93%F0%9D%90%A1%F0%9D%90%9E-%F0%9D%90%92%F0%9D%90%A9%F0%9D%90%9A%F0%9D%90%AB%F0%9D%90%A4%F0%9D%90%A5%F0%9D%90%B2-%F0%9D%90%84%F0%9D%90%A6%F0%9D%90%9E%F0%9D%90%AB%F0%9D%90%9A%F0%9D%90%A5%F0%9D%90%9D-%F0%9D%90%80%F0%9D%90%B0%F0%9D%90%9A%F0%9D%90%AB%F0%9D%90%9D%F0%9D%90%AC-%F0%9D%90%8E%F0%9D%90%A9%F0%9D%90%9E%F0%9D%90%A7
          	
          	It seems to be well run by @TheeNatureBookClub and contains a number of interesting categories. Check it out if awards like these are your thing!

I just found this award competition thingy, with some rather interesting categories, if I may say so myself. Also, it's also only the second competition I've found here that seems to allow short stories, and that makes me very happy!

          From what I understand, it seems like this competition has flown under the radar a bit, and the person running it has had some trouble attracting contestants - which I find strange, because to my eye this is both a well-run competition, and an interesting one. So, why not take a look and see if your story is a good fit for it?

Trying to enter my first award competition thingy here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/379343197-%E2%9C%A8%F0%9D%93%A3%F0%9D%93%B1%F0%9D%93%AE-%F0%9D%93%A2%F0%9D%93%BD%F0%9D%93%AA%F0%9D%93%BB%F0%9D%93%B5%F0%9D%93%B2%F0%9D%93%B0%F0%9D%93%B1%F0%9D%93%BD-%F0%9D%93%90%F0%9D%94%80%F0%9D%93%AA%F0%9D%93%BB%F0%9D%93%AD%F0%9D%93%BC-%E2%9C%A8

@SeraDrake When you said I could bind my short stories together into an anthology, does that mean I'd have to delete the individual short stories, or is it allowed to have them simultaneously published both as individual stories and as parts of an anthology on Wattpad?
            
            Thematically, I think it'd work to put them together, since they all take place within the same shared universe, although the individual short stories are set at different time periods over the span of a thousand years. But several characters and places appear in multiple stories, and events in one story affect events in another (though that's more of a bonus for a reader familiar with them all, than a requirement for understanding them).

@MvonSchantz - 20K counts as a novella on Wattpad. And there are special contests for novellas on here, too, although novellas can be entered into the main categories of most contests if they have enough chapters to meet the minimum requirement (for completed works, that's usually between 7 and 9 chapters).

@SeraDrake @SeraDrake Thanks for the suggestion! I've been a little bit confused about that, actually. In my mind, the main difference between a book and a short story is that a book has chapters, while a short story does not. So I've had troubles finding contests I can enter. This was the only one I could find that didn't seem to have a chapter number requirement!
            
            I've also decided to somewhat artificially split my latest short story into chapters. It's 20K words long, so it kind of works, but it still feels weird to me. :)
