Do I have to make a new book?
Stories must be newly written and read as a standalone one-shot. If your new story is part of an existing short story collection, it won't be featured on the reading lists of the participating profiles.
Does it have to be 20,000 words? Can I write a one-shot?
That is the word limit, no more. You're welcome to write a short one-shot, but be mindful of how much you'll be able to portray in a single chapter.
Does my story have to be in English? We are only accepting entries in English and Chinese this year.
Can I do a co-written story with someone?
Yes, you can! However, if you choose to publish on both your profiles, be aware that we can only add one story to our respective reading lists, not both.
Can I enter more than one entry?
Yes, but only one can win.
What about Mature? Are LGBTQ+ characters allowed?
Of course! We always welcome LGBTQ+ characters and stories. Mature is allowed so long as it meets Wattpad's Content Guidelines. Stories that do not meet this won't be accepted. Please keep in mind that we are not accepting fanfiction or alternate universes (AUs).
How will our entries be judged?
Stories are judged on various factors, such as writing quality, originality, and relation to the chosen prompt. Ensure you are proofreading your work before submitting it! If you do not wish to participate in the contest but would like to use a prompt for one of your stories, you are free to do so!
Can I change the details of the prompt I've chosen or combine prompts?
You are welcome to combine prompts, but your entry must follow one main prompt. Modifications to the prompt are permitted if the chosen prompt is still recognizable. You cannot reuse/rewrite an older story for this contest, its date of publication must not precede this contest.
