Hello, and thank you all for participating in the first edition of The Future Banned Writers' Coven Awards.

This is an extra part of the awards; to give more of our book club members a chance to judge and contribute, we will be hosting mini categories alongside the main categories.

For these categories, there will only be one winner, with its winning review included. Although for those who don't win, you can ask for your score sheet, and all of us are open to give advice on the category they judged. There should be 10 contestants per categories, so please fill the form carefully.

All three of us had also agreed that there would be no payments, but a follow would be appreciated as some of us will return the favour, and a read of our books will be wonderful but not necessary if it is not your kind of read.

All participants may choose one category to make things fair so that more people can participate.

Good luck to you all, and without any further delay, here are the categories with their judges, their score grids and separate forms :

🌟BEST QUOTE/WORDS🌟 mikrokosmos96

I'm Felly, a business management graduate and entrepreneur, and your judge for best words/quotes and best blurb. I've been writing as a hobby for more than 10 years and I've got a passion for reading and writing fantasy romance stories, especially the ones with reincarnation/regression/transmigration themes. Even though I'm not a poet or a romantic, I always have a thing for beautiful prose and words. I'm a very picky reader, mostly hard to please, and a bit of a perfectionist. But it doesn't mean I'd be disrespectful and tear apart your hard work. So, please don't take my review personally, and note that it will only come from a place of love and care.

Since Best Words/Quote category is rarely seen in awards, I will elaborate more. For this mini category, you will be entering a beautiful line from your book (MUST BE FROM YOUR OWN BOOK). There's a sample below from the judge's book:

Example 1:
Book title: I'm an Extra in a Tragedy Novel
Chapter: 14
Line: But, if we pray for the devil to see the light, would we stop having to deal with their whispers?

Example 2:
Book title: I'm an Extra in a Tragedy Novel
Chapter: 33
Line: Where has love left you, my dear? It left me early, and I was used to it by now. But look at where it led you, all the bad things it grew before it abandoned you with me.

Example 3:
Book title: I'm an Extra in a Tragedy Novel
Chapter: 33
Line: Instead of 'you're different, so I love you,' isn't it better to hear 'you're common, but I love you anyway?'

As you can see, the length doesn't matter, but it must be no more than 3 sentences. It can be a dialogue, a question, or any line from your book.

🌟BEST COVER🌟 AnnamitaMuscaria

My name is Anna, and I'll be the judge for the covers category. I am a graduated fashion designer with 8 years of experience in the field, a passion I left for writing. Please do not take my review too harshly, as I do use my eyes and my knowledge, but at the end of the day, this is one opinion, and to be able to create a cover for a book is a great thing on its own.

Rubric:
Genre and story fitting: /10
Title readability and overall use of fonts: /10
Composition: /10
Appeal: /10
Total: /40
