Dear all,

Thank you so much for participating in the first ever Heavenly Awards. It's been a heck of a ride, and it hasn't been easy, but the results are finally in. Each one of the 642 (yes, we received a lot of entries) books have been read, reviewed, and scored by our wonderful and dedicated team of judges. Speaking of which, do you want to know who they are?

It's been difficult keeping their identities anonymous until now, because they're all amazing and deserve to be recognised. The reason I've done so is to minimise the chances of any type of bias or attempt of bribery between judges and contestants occurring. However, since these Awards have ended, I guess there's no point in keeping it a secret any longer. So, please give a big round of applause to our marvellous Judging Team:

allhailwhovians, AlexStarAlvarez, AshBears, EtherealPleonasm, fUZZI_Lin, justarayofsunshine, call_me_clover, Celestia_Starlight, TheWingedOnes, Queen_Coffee, lunaangelwings, pinkycupcake, Cooler_Than_You_101, Maya0150, thebooknebula, mrsrossiter76, Butterscotch_Bubbles, katelynmckelle, and theotherideas!

How did we judge, you ask? We judged your stories based on factors such as setting, characters, dialogue, plot, mechanics (spelling, grammar, etc.) and more. Each of you will also be receiving a 100-500 word critique/review about your story that will be posted on the VERY FIRST CHAPTER of your submitted book, whether it be an author's note or a prologue, so keep an eye out for that! Because of the large amount of comments we'll have to send, this may take a while, so please be patient!

But we've kept you in suspense long enough. Now it's time for what you all have been really waiting for: the Winners. Or more specifically, the Winners of the Genre Awards. 

[Category Awards and the overall Winner will be posted tomorrow]
