In the first round, our judges will take a look at your cover, title, and logline. The judges will fill in the first part of the rubric and read your blurb.

The judges will fill in the rubrics for your cover, title, logline, and blurb and give a score on how much they wanted to read the first chapter.

The second round will be the chance for your first chapter to shine. Is there enough to captivate a reader to continue reading or not? Does the cover, title, logline, and blurb fit the story. After this round, a shortlist will be made for each genre.

A blurb is a short promo description of a story. They're supposed to encourage your readers to pick up the book. You can often find them on the back of a book or in the description box of a story on Wattpad.
