KIM TAEHYUNG JUDGING
Judging for the KTH category begins today (12). Judges will have three weeks to judge the books! They will hand over the feedback/criteria by February 6th. Results will come out February 9th if there is no delay.

I will contact the judges through their respective social media accounts with more information and the books they will be judging, so please have your DMs and socials open! The judging process is private and no communication whatsoever will take place among the judges and participants.

Judges, if you finish judging early and want to turn in your feedback/criteria then please do so! It will ensure that not everything is delivered at the last second and we could reveal the results faster! Also, make sure to check the rubric when judging! Feedback is mandatory! [No specific minimum or maximum, just make sure the author will understand why points were given or deducted!]

Remember, there will be three rounds. The final round will have the top three winners + Honorable Mentions.

Once you are eliminated, you are free to leave the awards unless you have another book in this or another category.
As participants are eliminated, there will be a small Active Check (not mandatory) just asking you how your experience was and any improvements, etc. It would help a lot!

The Most Liked category will begin as soon as judging begins too! More information will be posted when the Most Liked chapter for KTH is up! [This includes every participant in the KTH category! The results for this won't affect the result for the main category!]

Each judge will be distributed books based on the amount of chapters they have to read. Usually if it's four judges in total each will have to read approximately 80 chapters in total (from all the books combined which is usually 3-4 per judge).

Also, please, no arguing in between judges and participants. Of course, this is why I make the judging process private. No judge should be contacting the participants and vise versa, nor should they be saying which books they will be judging. It is private!

If you don't like your score or feedback then I'm sorry but I can't help you there. If the feedback bothers you of course you don't have to listen to it. But take it as help. All the judges are trying to do is help you improve, so please understand! This is why everything will be delivered to participants privately so no one sees the criteria other than you!

Please also understand, I am no Albert Einstein. I don't know everything and the judges don't know everything either. With this being said, don't take award contests seriously. It's just for fun!

Books will be judged twice. Once by the judges and once by me at the end to make sure all judging is even and fair.

Any questions? Let me know!
