Hello guys! This is probably on my end of things (CJ. I'm tech challenged), but I wanted to make an announcement. I've tried reaching out to you about getting an interview for our interview book if you were one of the winners from our contest. However, for most of you, the post is not posting. 
          
          So, if you placed first in your category for The Olds Awards, we would LOVE to interview you for our book! Please reach out and interact with this post if interested. 
          
          Sorry about the confusion. Gotta love this glitchy website.

Congratulations to all our winners and thanks so much to everyone who submitted their stories and participated in our first crack at awards! We appreciate you AND your stories! ❤️✨✨

We have confirmed that ALL judging payments have been RECEIVED!  Thank you all for completing them on time - it certainly makes our jobs easier!
          
          Judging has WRAPPED UP so we are now prepping everything - right on schedule!  That means we will be releasing the results one week from today!
          
          Between now and then, we encourage anyone who has NOT submitted to the writing prompts on the 'Tag Fest & Fun' section to consider it!  Prompt winners will ALSO be eligible to win rewards after the awards wrap up!

Hello hello, and we hope you are all having a FABULOUS Monday whereever you are!  This is a reminder for everyone that is participating in the Olds Awards - tomorrow is the deadline for any judge payments that were required by your judge.  You MUST complete any outstanding judge payments BEFORE 11:59PM EST tomorrow OR your entry will be disqualified.
          
          If you are having problems or need to reach out, please feel free to respond to this announcement OR on the FAQ page of the award itself.
          
          We look forward to announcing the winners of the award NEXT WEEK - so stay tuned!

Good morning lovelies!  Here is a quick update from The Olds on everything!
          
          First, a new 'The Olds Way' release came out today - this time, focused on how to 'Show not Tell.'  We hope you all find it helpful!
          
          Second, we are moving through our judging at a good pace, and are already wrapping up some categories behind the scenes!  We are keeping up with our timeline, so (at least at this time) we still expect the winner announcements to come out in just a couple of weeks.
          
          Finally, while you wait for the results, check out the tag fest and fun chapter of the Awards for prompts and activities you can engage with!  Our favorite prompt responses will likely receive a little reward for their efforts too!

The Olds have released a little helper on how to write to beat the Ai bots (ie, how to not get falsely flagged as writing with ai)!  Check it out! https://www.wattpad.com/1630086770-the-olds-way-write-to-beat-the-bots
