We have made it! All results, reviews, and rewards have been fully distributed, marking this award show officially complete!

It has been a busy few months, and I appreciate everyone's patience as they awaited their category to get judged.

I had a lot of fun discovering new stories and talking to new people! I always love trying to help people as much as I can in their writing journey. This is now my second award show under my belt as a host, woohoo!

I want to thank everyone who submitted their honest, authentic, hard work. Even if you didn't place, don't be discouraged. It takes a hell of a lot of courage to even enter awards (take it from someone who also gets nervous entering award shows as a participant) and that alone is something to be proud of! And remember, in the end, these are for fun and it's a great way to meet new people, discover new stories, and get your work seen by others! All in all, that's still a win in my book!

So, once again, thank you to everyone who participated and made this a fun experience!

This is Sears signing off!
