FOR CONTESTANTS AND JUDGES (although all don't apply):

1. ENGLISH ONLY! We are very sorry to those who have books in other languages, but it is very hard to mind people who are bilingual to judge.

2. YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE ACCOUNTS IN ORDER TO BE ENTERED!: literallylitawards

3. ADD THIS BOOK TO YOUR LIBRARY! In order to receive notifications and updates! You can remove it afterward.

4. YOUR BOOK MUST HAVE LESS THAN 12K READS! This is for undiscovered authors.

5. YOUR BOOK MUST HAVE AT LEAST FOUR CHAPTERS! It's a little hard to judge with little content. Authors notes are not counted. Prologues however are. (This does not apply to short story or poetry!)

6. MATURE AND LGBT CONTENT ARE ALLOWED! They will not be separated into different categories unless there is a majority.

7. 10 ENTRIES PER GENRE! No ifs or buts.

8. ONLY TWO BOOKS PER PERSON CAN ENTER! Two books per person max and they cannot be in the same genre.

9. JUDGES ARE ALLOWED TO ENTER ONE BOOK! But it must be in a separate category in which they are judging.

10. RESPECT ALL JUDGES AND CONTESTANTS! Self-explanatory.

11. JUDGES ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT SCORES AND FEEDBACK BY DESIGNATED TIME! Failure to do so may result in disqualification.

12. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE COMMENT ON THE "QUESTIONS" PAGE!

13. TWO JUDGES PER GENRE!

14. YOU MUST FOLLOW THE JUDGES WHO ARE JUDGING YOUR GENRE! It's only fair as they are taking time out of their day to read and critic your work.

15. YOU CANNOT ENTER A BOOK THAT HAS BEEN IN A PREVIOUS WAVE! That would be unfair to others who are new to this awards.

It's only fair to them as they are taking their time to judge your books.

Responsibilities for Judges:

- You must read a total of ten books within the span of three weeks. You are only required to read a minimum of five chapters, or until you feel like you have enough content to score. You will use a specific rubric to score each book. Once you score them, you will write 2+ sentence feedback on what you thought of the book.

-All judges will private message this account all scores and feedback, and then we will post/tally everything up.
