THE ACE AWARDS 2020 || COMPLETED

WELCOME TO THE ACE AWARDS

WELCOME, WELCOME!

This award is hosted by nazahace!

If you have failed to enter into this competition because your genre has been booked to max, fear not, as Ace Awards 2nd Edition will come out after this 1st Edition is completed (the date is undetermined).

All the stickers have already been made. All the prizes have already been set to be given away when winners are announced. This will be a very efficient competition, I guarantee.

If you are new, and even if you are not, here is a brief introduction highlighting the features of our Awards page.

I. You will only have to permanently follow one person (not this account), found later in the book.
II. All judges will vote on your books IF they appreciate it, which yes, means you will get free votes as well as reads altogether (depending on how much your book attracts the judge).
III. Judges may create a reading list dedicated to the genre they are judging, for the participants' sake. This would of course mean more advertisement and opportunities for your book.
IV. In return, you would have to follow your judges WHEN JUDGING STARTS (not immediately after submitting your form, unless you want to). Judges are not required to follow back, but they can. You may unfollow after the award ends.
V. There will be more than 10+ prizes available for various multipurpose events, not limited to only participants: for judges, helpers (non-participant and non-judge), graphic designers, and other contestants for other categories.

Interesting, no? Most authors who participate will be entitled to gain more reads and votes regardless of tediousness or the like, so it's a win-win situation. Good luck if you decide to partake in this quest.

SLOTS MAY EXPAND ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF ENTRIES I GET. MORE GENRES MAY BE ADDED IF THERE IS A DECENT AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO WISH TO ENTER, PLEASE NOTIFY ME VIA PM.

━ Action/Adventure (5 slots).

Now, how all awards usually work, and how this award will work. More details in the rules chapter, so you must read it.

II. They will be following a judging criteria for your book.
III. You will familiarize with the rules.
IV. You will be given a form.
V. You must fill in the form in its respective chapter.

IX. You apply it/keep it as constructive criticism.
X. If you have ranked, you PM this account to redeem your rewards.
