IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ 
          	Hey everyone. It's Stella, and I have a really important announcement to make. This isn't easy for me to say, so I'll just make it quick.  
          	We're putting this community on hold indefinitely. 
          	When I first joined Wattpad more than 6 months ago, I was a bit crazy, and I practically lived my entire life on here, neglecting a lot of stuff in real life. I now realize that I made a mistake, and I made more commitments on Wattpad than I could handle. 
          	We all have lives outside of Wattpad, and I should have realized that sooner. Many of my friends warned me, but I didn't listen to them. I should have. 
          	Now, this announcement is specifically for the contest, since hundreds of you have signed up for that already. The contest is still going to happen, but not now. We're definitely going to return to it, probably in the summer. 
          	I know I'm disappointing you guys. I know I'm letting you down. 
          	I didn't want to do this. I'm sorry. 
          	Thanks for all of your support, and I just wanted to let you know that I love all of you, and we'll see you again in the future. 
          	Peace <3

@BestOfBothWorldsComm There is nothing wrong stepping away from something for a bit, especially social media. It can be stressful, an easy escape, and sometimes overwhelming. Wattpad and it's community will always be here, and it will still be here if/when you come back. There is nothing wrong working on yourself and taking time to yourself, there is nothing selfish about that and there will NEVER be anything selfish about that. Take your time, don't rush or push yourself. And if you ever need/want it, you have an entire community that will always support you no matter what. I wish you the best of luck and the best health. (P.S. I deleted Instagram and tiktok for some of the same reasons and it was getting really toxic for me. After I removed myself for a bit I felt, and I still feel, so much better about myself.) You are not alone.

Hi everyone! Remember us? Yeah, me neither XD. But in all seriousness, we're super sorry that we haven't really been active. Life just loves to throw things at us lol. So we'll get to everything as soon as possible!
          This announcement is mainly about our Bonus contests! The prompt was supposed to go up like...a month ago or something (oops) but we didn't have enough participants. But I promise they'll go up in a few days at the latest!!
          Anyways, thanks for bearing with us lol. Have a great day/night everyone, and thanks so much for joining us in this awards!

Hey everybody! A quick announcement about our Bonus contests!
          First of all, prompts will be released in a few days, so stay tuned for that! If you want to sign up, please go do so as soon as you are available, because I'm not sure when exactly we'll post it.
          Secondly, the one-shot contest has been cancelled as far as I can tell, since only one person signed up. If we reach *5* participants, we may put it back on, so please go sign up, thanks!!

BestOfBothWorldsComm

IMPORTANT!! Hey everyone! How are all of you? :D 
          Firstly, a quick reminder that we don't have very many spots open, so go sign up now if you want to join!
          Now, we just wanted to remind you guys that we still need a lot of judges. Awards can't function without judges, and even if all the participant spots are filled, we can't begin the judging process until we have enough judges!! So, please, please go sign up if you're interested, and spread the word to people who you think might be interested, thanks!!
          Oh and one last thing :) The deadline for our BONUS contests has been extended to Friday, so please go sign up for that! 
          Thanks so much for joining us in the first ever Best Of Both Worlds Awards! Have a nice day everyone! :D

@Aster_Amaryllis Sorry for the late response, but of course you can! You can't judge a category you're participating in, but you can judge anything else :D

@BestOfBothWorldsComm Wait, I have a question. Could I be a judge and a participant... it's okay if the answer is no, I'm fine with either!

Hey everybody!! We just finished updating the awards book, so if you were accepted (KEYWORD: accepted. That means we must have written the word "accepted" underneath your entry. Responding to your entry alone does not mean you are accepted!!) please go check that out!! 
          Also, we're extending the entry deadline for the BONUS CONTESTS to this Friday, so if you're interested, go sign up now, thanks!! :)

BestOfBothWorldsComm

UPDATE: We've finally finished responding to all the entries! The awards book will be updated tomorrow, so do not be alarmed if your book does not show up on the lists yet! Thanks for your patience and understanding :)

@BestOfBothWorldsComm I-If you don't mind me asking...
            What time, of which time zone tomorrow?
            (I feel like a serious mom, asking the grocery store cleric to read the small writing, lol-- aka I feel dumb)

Hi everyone! We are really sorry that we haven't been getting to the entries for the past few days. Life happened, school happened, getting extremely sick happened, and the past few days flew by so fast. We promise to get back to those as fast as we can! Thanks so much for understanding!

@BestOfBothWorldsComm Life comes first. Take care, and I wish a speedy recovery.
