Guys...

Before I announce winners, I wanna real talk something with you right quick.

I didn't expect these awards to be so big.

But when I saw how popular this got, my thoughts were that since these awards were bigger, we'd be having so much more fun!

Little did I know that since these awards were bigger, I'd also have to cover for more people.

I am not trying to condemn anyone, but...

I held these awards in the summer for a reason - so that when judges came, they didn't have to worry about school (if they were of the schooling age). A lot got judging done within THE FIRST WEEK. And I gave two months. Crazy, right?!

But... A lot of judges ended up leaving. How many exactly?

About 17.

Now, those who did respond to us when the deadline was passed, you did save us from a lot - since we knew you were unable to judge, we were able to cover for you.

Those who didn't reply - we just hope everything was okay with you. Worried as we were, we somehow came through. A lot of books are still unjudged, but enough have been judged to put up results.

Two or three genres will be held back, but we didn't want to keep the majority of our participants waiting.

We are so sorry for the chaos that this all caused.

We love you guys dearly and just wanted to give you guys a good time.

Results will be coming up kind of slowly because I have to screenshot reviews and all that (Wattpad won't let me copy & paste pms anymore...), give credit to original judges and those who helped (in all honesty, I lost track of the judges, there were so many 😂😂), and whatnot...

For the next hour, I will be putting up scores.

Thank you guys for participating, and keep your fingers crossed that you're a winner!!
