In celebration, honour and appreciation of reaching one thousand followers, we [tidess AlecRyderVsColeStone  and hauntinglytragic ] have decided it's finally time for contests.

Since this is our first contest, we won't have themes like Christmas, Easter etc. This one is up to you.

Please read all the rules and criteria and so it's easier and quicker for us to get through the stories.

R U L E S & C R I T E R I A

1. First and foremost, the story has to be published. We can't judge a story that isn't published to the community. And this story has to be published on Wattpad, not another website.

2. The story needs to have the tag #SBS2k16 so we know which ones are in the contest or not.

3. You don't need to come up with a new story idea or plot. You can add an existing story to the contest or come up with a new one, if you want.

4. We will not be accepting fanfictions into the contests. Sorry if that's inconvenient but fanfictions will not be accounted for now.

5. We will not be judging stories that romanticize crime, mental disorders and abuse.

6. No less than five chapters, no more than twelve. However, if you're adding a full length story [novella] please tell us which chapters focuses of body shaming and how to stop it. For example: if chapters 11-15 focus on #stopbodyshaming, dedicate the chapter[s] to us or somehow tell us which chapters to read. We don't want to read a fifty chapter story.

7. As mentioned earlier, the story needs to have the tag #SBS2k16. However, if you passed the tags limit and can't put in anymore, you can either put it in

A: the title

B: the blurb.

C: you can dedicate a chapter to us and tell us you're participating in the contest.

8. You cannot just throw in the tag #SBS2k16 on your story. If you story doesn't deal with #stopbodyshaming, it's not going to be taken in. Don't put #SBS2k16 on a story about hunting deers and hope to win.

No.

Your story must deal with #stopbodyshaming.

9. You can't put in the tag #SBS2k16 and just wait. Look through your notifications or go on our profile and check if your story is in the reading list. If it's not in the reading list "#SBS2k16" tell us in a friendly way. We don't want to look over any stories and miss any.

10. If you are to harass or have harassed any of the judges, your stories won't be in the stopbodyshaming reading list. I have already muted and rejected people due to harassment or history of harassment.

11. We will not be voting or commenting during judging. This is for anonymity and so none of you think we're favouring. We'll only be reading and we won't be voting, commenting or giving feedback.

12. Must be following one of us. It would be nice to show a little appreciation to the people taking time out of their lives and dedicate themselves to this campaign.

13. Contest entries will start tomorrow. March 7th, 2016 at 12 P.M EST and will end at March 21st, 2016 at 12 P.M EST.

If you cannot put your story in by that time, let us know and we might make a few exceptions.

Judging will happen for as long as it takes, depending on the number of entries. March break is coming up, which means more time but don't rush us.

14. Only one entry per person.

15. Have fun! Don't be bummed out if you don't win, just keep trying and you'll be a winner in no time.

I'm well aware that these prizes don't seem like much and that we can't give away MacBooks and gift cards but as we grow as authors and as a campaign, the prizes will increase.

If you have any questions, please ask on our main accounts as we aren't as active on this account compared to our main ones.

DO YOUR PART.
