NOTE FOR THE JUDGES:

Since, we have only three entries this time we are merging the categories and all the judges will have to judge all the three stories this time.

Its-priyaanka has not been able to complete the story yet because of some health issues, so, if she gets it completed in a couple of days, then we request you to give a brief review of that story as well. But please note that this story will not be marked.

# JUDGING PROCESS

~ The judges have been teamed up in pairs and both the judges will be reading the same set of stories and mark them accordingly.

~ The final marks of a particular entry will be calculated after taking the average of the marks from both the judges.

~ For maintaining the transparency, all the judges have been allotted a pseudo name which they'll be using during the entire contest.

~ Any conversation between the judges or the judges and the contestants is strictly not allowed until the completion of the judging process. Any conversation they can have is only with the host.

~ The judges will be submitting their evaluation in two documents. In one document, you'll be giving us the marks of all the stories allotted to you and in other document, you will have to compile the reviews of the stories.

~ Once, you're done with the judging, you can submit both the documents to us via email.

✨

For all the contestants of this set and before, we have a surprise coming up for you all. So, stay tuned and do read the stories of this set and encourage the participants for their efforts and hard work!

See you all soon!

Till then, stay blessed and stay safe!

Happy Wordsmithing!

With love,
Stella & Asmi
