At one point in this competition, I will read all of your books. I will be a judge throughout both rounds, and my scores of your stories will be the make or break of your victory. If you know me through my Review Shop, you know exactly how harsh I am. If you don't, then hello, it's nice to meet you.

Each category will have 3 slots and 3 judges (including me). Each judge will read 3 stories (unless they are judging multiple categories), and the average of your judges' scores will be the score of your story. Fun, right?

That will be the first round, and when the winners of each category are chosen, they will advance to the second round, where 3 new judges (including me) will judge your story. The story with the highest average will win and be titled "champion".

It's a very simple process, and I think it'll be fun. If you have any questions, shoot away. If not, the next page is the Participants' Rules.
