Participants and judges, the rules are there for a reason: to be followed and minimize complications. Either you follow them all or you will be disqualified.
Please go back and read through the rules. If you're not following certain rules, do and complete them. After 72 hours, my co-host and I will be going through all the participants and judges to check.
If you're not following them by then, we will regret to inform you that you can no longer take part in these awards. We will not be lenient.
EDIT: There are 4 hours left to make sure that you're following the rules. The main ones my host and I will be looking at are if you're following both hosts and this account, have this awards in a public reading list, and have #bsideawards in your book tags. If you have not done any or some of these, do so now. Thank you.
EDIT #2: Since the awards have yet to start, I will give participants and judges one final warning before disqualification, but once these awards have begun, and if rules have been broken, you will be blacklisted.
