@DauntlessShadowIce1 When it first went up it stated it didn’t have to be complete at the end of Round Three in case you wanted to submit to the Wattys, but it’s been changed since.

@AriaOfStorms Round three should end with at least one novella between 20-40k using at least one prompt. Is there somewhere where it says otherwise? (Some people revise their chapters/add more after the contest is over in order to have a large enough word count to enter the Wattys, is that maybe what you’re referring to?)

Thank you for adding my story to your 2021–2022 list. I really appreciate it.

Gather around writers, but keep your voices hushed! They are always watching so we don't have long, but the news is too good not to share.
We know times are bleak and that the flame of creativity has been distinguished for many...but where there are embers it can reignite!
The Page Masters have unlocked the Ancient Libraries and set out on a quest to reach the bravest writers from all corners of the world.
Lay low, but at the ready, dear writer, don't let the regime catch you with pen in hand. The time to start writing a new generation of stories will come soon!
We can't say more at this time, but keep an eye out for our signal.

@AncientGalaxy You can start sketching out possible story ideas in advance on a piece of paper but don't put anything on Wattpad (even in draft form) until on or after 1st of February. The rules are quite clear.

@MissCatLatte yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing for a while now so I don’t end up with a million ideas and no plot

I can't wait to be participating on onc awards, this year.

I spy with my little eye an area that once had a description has vanished. *insert two eye emojis*

Is there going to be more children prompts like the 2021 version?
