Hey guys! Who's ready to take part in the Shine Awards!?!

But before we get to the form, there are a few ground rules that you will need to keep in mind. Rules are awful, we understand that, but then we can't have a great competition without them!

Here are the guidelines:

▪ Your story doesn't need to be completed, however it must reach to a point where we can understand your story line (at least three chapters) and an update that occurred in 2017.         (Prologues count, Author's notes, etc. don't. )

▪ Add the hashtag "#Shines2017" to your book(s) so that we will be able to find it quickly!

▪Follow this account, admins and your genre judges (optional). These people are working quite hard to bring this competition to you guys, it will be sweet if you support them too!

▪You need to tag three people in your form.

▪ Add this book to your  reading list to spread the word of shines!

▪You can submit a maximum of two books for the awards in any genre.

▪Only books with under 5k reads will be considered for the "Undiscovered gem" category and will be automatically entered. It will go according to time of submission.

▪ Judges can enter their works too, but make sure that it's not the genre that you're judging!

▪The specialty winners will be decided by the judges as the best book from all the genres. It will be the one with the best plot, character development, originality, grammar, you know the drill. I assure you that it will be one hundred percent fair.

▪Don't bribe the judges. Ever. The admins will be on the lookout for such contestants, and they will be disqualified immediately. Judges, don't get bribed!

▪ Be nice to everyone, don't bully your fellow competitors! The password is " I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good", be sure to add it to your form!

▪ A sticker will be uploaded later, it's not compulsory to add it, but you can if you like, it will help promote the awards and look wonderful on the cover!

▪And lastly, spread the word! Let your friends know about the awards. We need at least 10 books for each genre to be functional, or else it will get removed. 

Any confusions? Pm or comment here, and we will get back to you as soon as possible! Read and understood the rules? Then move on to the entry form! We can't wait to start reading your books!
