Welcome to Round 2 of the Best of Summer Awards

╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍ ☀ ╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍

Massive congratulations to everyone that has made it this far in the event!

Round 2 is dedicated to awarding authors with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and Judge's Pick nomination!

There is much at stake. The winners will be receiving a sticker, reviews from their judges, follows, promotions, and custom graphics/gifs!

Judging criteria for this round is to remain confidential between myself and the judges. You may not ask for your scores. I can tell you that your story will be scored heavily based on plot, characterization, and quality of writing.

For this round, judges are responsible for reading only 4 chapters of your story. This is for two reasons: it is important that your story capture the reader's attention from the start, and so that judges have more time to score your work based on the lengthy criteria given to them.

Again, I will mention that if you change your username or story title then you MUST let me know asap. If a judge has a problem finding your profile or your story then you will be disqualified.

Don't forget to follow the judges for round 2! They are doing you a tremendous favor by reading your work. They are also taking time out of their schedule to judge your book based on the criteria I have set for them. The least you can do is give them a follow to show your appreciation. I value our judges highly and I'd like for them to be compensated for their time here. I want this event to be beneficial for everyone.
