1) I vote for... because... (Be sure to include the reason why you chose it)

Please vote for your top three (and tag the user/author) in a comment below

Voting Support:

- You don't need to read every chapter! That's what the "Best Two Lines" are for, read the ones that capture your attention! 

- You don't have to list your votes in a scale (e.g. favorite, 2nd favorite, 3rd favorite) but you can if you want to

- Remember that a valid chapter is deserving of a vote only if the majority of the chapter matches the theme of the Battle

- Moderators will formally count the votes to identify the winner of the challenge

- Tie breakers will be determined by the Board and a reason will be provided

Submission Details

Only the first 10 chapters submitted will be accepted in this battle.

Timeframe to submit: May 5 to May 12, or until we have our first qualified ten entries

How to submit: Post your entry in the comment section, you MUST use this format:

1) Author: (your EXACT wattpad username)

2) Book Name: (The EXACT title!!)

3) Chapter: (The EXACT title!!)

4) Link to Chapter: (EXACT link to the CHAPTER not the book!)

5) Best TWO lines: (And ONLY TWO! Any additional sentences will be deleted without notice. These two sentences can come from anywhere in your chapter, and they must be direct quotes from your chapter. They will be used to 'sell' your chapter and potentially set your entry apart from the pool of contestants. So make it good!)

6) Entry Qualification: (Please explain in one or two sentences how the contents of your chapter fits the theme - primarily for Moderator use)

** Be sure to read over and check your entry before you submit it. Thanks.

Submission Support:

- Prevent disqualification by choosing a chapter where the majority of its content fits the theme

- Unlike the regular NBR spotlight rounds, you are not allowed to include a summary of your book. Your readers (voters) will assess the quality of your story telling based on its relation with the theme

- Review and make final edits to your chapter before submission. Remember that a winning chapter should be able to entice readers through the first few paragraphs

More Information

- One entry per Author

- No word limit because a short chapter is not indicative of a better read than a long chapter

- The majority of the submitted chapter must have aspects of the theme and if not, it obviously doesn't qualify

- Only active #NBR members can take part in the challenge (you must have taken the pledge to and offered the member sash to be considered an NBR member and members should be actively participating in recent rounds)

- Participants are not allowed to vote for their own entry

More details can be found in Chapter 9: The Battle of the Chapters Challenge. Questions or concerns should be addressed in the comment section below as a provisional 'Frequently Asked Question' section that will later be inserted within the official contest rules.
