Judging will officially begin Wednesday, July 3rd. It will start with best potential, best title, and best cover.

The goal is to announce results weekly or biweekly. Some categories, like best characters, will take longer due to the content + number of participants.

As stated in the rules, please refrain from asking me about judging and results. I am one person doing this. The contest has barely been out a month. Most contests don't even consider starting until over a month in. Please understand I have a life outside Wattpad, and the goal of this contest is when judging starts, it doesn't stop. That's why I took a month to start judging: I wanted to be in a good position to do so.

I was judging for my Fairy Night Awards since it's almost done. I wanted to finish another category and start some other ones so I had more time to focus on the Padauk Awards. I finished the completed category for the FN Awards, which was almost 40k words long. That's how detailed I get.

I understand you want results. Trust me, I'm eager to judge. I love reading and reviewing to the point where it's my literal job. But please be patient. I promise I'll judge this entire contest relatively quickly.

I'm excited to post the results. See you soon with the best potential results!
