.➣ [Mandatory] The ten shortlisted candidates have to read the first chapter of the previous month's winner's book and leave a 2+ line comment with the tag @TLAwards. We'll be checking. 

If failed to comply, you won't be eligible for the first prize. 

Don't worry, this is a win-win situation, for, if you end up winning the first prize that month, you'll be receiving at least 10 comment + reads + possible votes on your book too within the next fifteen days.

 ➣ Previous winners (of any genre) aren't allowed to nominate the winning book(s) for the genre awards. They can, however, nominate another book written by them.

➣ [Mandatory] Due to recent changes in Wattpad classification, any book classified under any genre in Wattpad can be nominated.

For instance, books falling under TeenFiction/Click-Lit/Fantasy/Humor (or any other genre) can nominate their book for Romance if they believe they have a chance at winning.

However, in the above scenario, only the books with the best 'romance' will be shortlisted. If you have amazing plot development, but sub-par romance, it might not make the cut.

➣ Follow this account, TLAwards to keep yourself updated. Don't worry, you'll receive a permanent follow from us too!
