Yep. That's right, folks. Not all awards survive to the end. Many die before judging even begins, and quite a few fizzle out at that point, fading into oblivion with some or no results posted. For whatever reason, I'm pronouncing these awards dead. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the hosts will resurrect them. If so, I'll be the first to celebrate. But until that day, we mourn the loss of wasted time and energy.

These are organized in chronological order from date of death as pronounced by me, the unofficial awards undertaker of Wattpad. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it! Well, not really, but...I'm just doing it, okay? 😉

My cut-off time for pronouncing an award dead is six months. This means I may still be checking 2024 awards into 2025, but as six months pass and they die, I'll add them to the 2024 graveyard. The awards in this chapter died on or after 01/01/2025.

All the rest (2):

1. The Prose Gem Awards by iburnrice
Status: Unpublished. Host stated on MB all results were announced, but they weren't as of my last check 01/01/2025, which means the host must have unpublished the award immediately after announcing the results.
