The 2017 RPF Awards have now officially begun judging!  That's right, each of the 30+ active judges has had an individualized assignment sent to their Wattpad inbox! Yay!

But...

(begin disappointed- but not surprised- rant)

I have already begun to hear back from PRJs that the majority of entrants are not following them, which is unacceptable.  Nothing will be awarded to any entrant who has not followed all of the PRJs (at minimum), for every category into which they have entered works (both NM and M PRJs).  I am going to allow a short period of time for entrants to come to their senses and check the updated judging roster. 

If you do not respond to a reminder from me promptly, and follow your PRJs, you will be disqualified.  I repeat, no prizes will be given to anyone who is not following all of their PRJs.  I will check every single potential winner before announcing results myself, no matter how long it takes.

This requirement was stated very clearly in the rules.  It is VERY difficult to find people to judge, especially 5+ entries, and the addition of followers, even for a short time, is one of the greatest of the few methods available to reward judges for their service.  They are volunteering large amounts of their free time.  It doesn't matter how amazing the entry is- if the author is not following (bare minimum) their PRJs, the entry is disqualified.

I always welcome judging applications, at any point up until the closure of the contest. If you are interested, please check out the chapters regarding judging. Thank you!

As an aside-> do not ask me questions about what PRJs/RcuJs/RsvJs are, the timeline, or anything else I have already thoroughly addressed.  Read the chapters I have already posted with everything you need to know (judges and entrants).  I put effort into writing them, you can put the small amount of time into reading them.  I will not be answering questions that are already answered multiple times in the contest book anymore.

**Questions about changes to the judging roster will not be answered.  Read the two chapters, 'A Note to entrants,' ~AND~ 'Judging spots available.'**

For every single entrant, I have been through the list of profiles they follow to do a preliminary screen for entries that may need to be disqualified.

If I tag you by a PRJ's name, you should check and make sure you are following:
