Ladies and gentlemen, royals and commoners, knights and stable boys, curious readers and fantastic writers, the whole Wattpad race..... *okay I'll stop now😂*.....

You are all cordially welcomed to the Guilded Raven Awards.

I know, I know, it's been a long time coming, but finally, we made it! Travelling on the jewelled wings of rainbow coloured Pegasuses against a backdrop of harmonious angelic singing to bring to you the holy grail.

It's every writer's dream to be discovered, encouraged and appreciated. That's what this award aims to achieve as reflected in our choice of title words.

Guild: A guild /ɡɪld/ is an association of artisans and merchants who oversee the practice of their craft/trade in a particular area, organized in a manner something between a professional association, a trade union, a cartel, and a secret society.

Gilded: Covered thinly with gold leaf or gold paint/wealthy and privileged. This signifies our nobility, thus we look forward to welcoming you into open arms!

Our Raven represents Prophecy and Insight, allowing newcomers a chance to thrive in turmoil and gain the support and recognition they deserve.

So do come in and make yourself comfortable at the high table. Tie up your girdle and straighten out your hair as we all get ready to dive into this whimsical journey.

Without further ado, let the hunger games—I mean awards commence😂.
