@CommunityForWriters -- I was wondering about this awards contest. You closed it in April. On May 28th, I actually pulled the story I had entered off of Wattpad for personal reasons. I was wondering if the review was ever done and if I could get a copy of it? I know it is now disqualified, but I would still like to see the review so I can use the comments to better the story before reposting it.

 Important Announcement! 
          
          Hey everyone! 
          
          Here are some important updates regarding the Gemlight Book Awards:
          
           Contest Changes:
          - Due to insufficient entries in the action, adventure, and horror categories, the submission deadline is extended to the 30th of March. You can now enter any of these categories from both Inkitt and Wattpad. The rest of the schedule remains unchanged. Selected books will be handed over to judges after the 2nd of April.
          
           Entry Requirements Reminder:
          - Make sure your book meets the entry requirements on the day of submission:
            - No more than five reviews on Inkitt.
            - No more than 500 views or 100 likes on Wattpad.
            - Both ongoing and complete works are accepted. For ongoing works, ensure a minimum of 2-3 chapters.
          
          ❌ Category Change:
          - Unfortunately, the poetry category is dropped from the competition due to lack of participant interest.
          
           Best of Luck!
          Wishing all of you the very best of luck for the contest! 
          
          Have a fantastic day! ☀️
