The Ambassadors are a group of volunteers who dedicate a part of their free time to the community on Wattpad. To help ease the judging process and make it fair to all, there will be a systematic process to whittle down the list.

🐝 Round 1 - This involves initial screening to check for eligibility. Does the story meet all the guidelines and does it fit the category?

🐝 Round 2 - Judges will look at your story description (blurb) to get a gist of the overall story, and read the first three chapters. Here we are looking for stories that are well-written and present a compelling hook.

🐝 Round 3 - Stories that pass Round 2 will be read in their entirety and scored by two different judges. World-building, character development, grammar, plot development, and enjoyability are all things we consider when judging.

We will communicate our judging timeline once the submission form is closed. Note that the judging window will depend on the number and the length of the entries we receive.

To remain fair and unbiased, all judges are excluded from participating.

This year, we will have up to nine Favourites per main category: Three Favourites for each sub-category. And among all the Favourites, we will have one Grand Favourite for each sub-category. That's a lot of love and celebration to go around!

Each Grand Favourite will receive the following:

🐝 A shout-out from The Ambys and the Ambassadors' Profile.

🐝 A Special Grand Favourite graphic kit that consists of a sticker, a banner, and a sash.

🐝 Their story will be added to a dedicated Reading List on our profile.

🐝 These Grand Favourites will be passed along to all our other Ambassador-managed profiles to consider for their Reading Lists—no guarantee, of course.

🐝 A spotlight interview that will be featured in the Ambassadors Newsletter. 

Each favourite will receive the following:

🐝 A shout-out from The Ambys and the Ambassadors' Profile.

🐝 A graphic kit to use as they see fit. The kit includes a sticker, a banner, and a sash.

🐝 Their stories will be added to a dedicated Reading List on our profile.

🐝 These stories will be passed along to all our other Ambassador managed profiles to consider for their Reading Lists—no guarantee, of course.

And to bee happier, this year's edition comes with a special!

All favourites will get to take part in a roundtable in which they will share their thoughts, experience and writing advice in their respective category with the community.
