We will select up to nine favorites from each main category. Three from each word-count sub-category (short story, novella, and novel)

That's a lot of love and celebration to go around!

All favorites will receive the following:

> A shout-out from The Ambys and the Ambassadors' Profile.

> A graphic kit to use as they see fit. The kit includes a sticker, a banner, and a sash.

> Their stories will be added to a dedicated Reading List on our profile.

> These stories will be passed along to all other Ambassador-managed profiles to consider for their Reading Lists—no guarantees of course.

The Ambassadors are a group of volunteers that dedicate a portion of their free time to the community on Wattpad. To help ease the judging process and make it fair to all, there will be a systematic process to whittle down the list.

Round 1 - This involves initial screening to check for eligibility. Does the story meet all the guidelines and does it fit the category?

Round 2 - Judges will look at your story blurb to get a gist of the overall story, and read the first three chapters. Here we are looking for stories that are well-written and present a compelling hook.

Round 3 - Stories that pass Round 2 will be read in their entirety and scored by two different judges. World-building, character development, grammar, plot development, and enjoyability are all things we consider when judging.

We will communicate our judging timeline once the submission form is closed. It will depend on the number of entries and the length of the entries we receive.

To remain fair and unbiased, all judges are excluded from participating.
