Results for the New Adult category are in and below! Before I get into it though, a little disclaimer: I am not providing feedback on the results (as was outlined in the Judging Criteria section that has been available since submissions opened).

This category scored overall better than the last as there was much less of a range between final scores stories and nothing scoring below 60. Good work to these writers!

Winners will be contacted after all results have been released for prizes.

Scores will only be released for the top three stories. However, if you would like yours (or the more detailed breakdown of how your scores weighed up in the subcategories of each judging criteria), send me a private message.

Please be kind in the comments and congratulate the winners as they've evidently impressed me.

Now for the results...
