Where writers strive
The Watty Awards are Wattpad's annual celebration of the galvanizing, inventive, diverse voices that choose to share their stories on Wattpad every year.
The Wattys are so much more than an award. They're a celebration of what it takes to tell stories.

Full eligibility requirements are available now on Wattpad, but in brief:
50,000 word minimum
Story must be marked ‘complete’
Story must have been posted after January 1, 2017
Must be in one of the eligible languages and genres
