@MicroLuna So, normally these contests are run by fellow wattpad users. Basically, they host a competition where a limited amount of books/novels can be entered per genre available. Sometimes though, it's not a book or novel, but maybe a poem or a newly written story based on a given theme. It all depends on their criteria. And it's also a first come first serve situation... what I mean is for e.g., if it's limited to 20 books for the romance genre, normally when 20 books has been entered, the contest closes off for the genre of romance. And this will continue until all genres are filled. Thus, the sooner you enter, the better. Seeing that our fellow users host these, there's no cash prize involved. The prizes usually ranges from stickers, shoutouts, interviews, votes, etc. In this regard, the aim of these contests are normally to increase the exposure of the writer's work, thus, gaining way more reads, votes and followers. Even participating in the contest itself increases your read, and brings more exposure for your work. And finally, these contests brings about a friendly joy of competing, and you might gain some really good advice and feedback for your work which might definitely promote your improvement, even if you don't win sometimes
