The winner of each category will get featured on a special reading list on the page, and the opportunity to be a sponsor for the next awards.

The runner ups of each category (2nd and 3rd) will receive a complimentary review from FelixValois as well as a shoutout from that account.

The Overall Winner of the Horizon Awards will receive: their account name in the bio of this account, their book in its own reading list on this account, a personal shoutout from ALL the sponsors, as well as a dedication in the next awards ceremony.
