First and foremost, I would like to apologize for not reporting the day before. I didn't think it would be rational to post every announcements, even when there are days when the new entries are meager and I don't have anything to state.

Second, I would like to cordially express my gratitude to all participants and judges for bearing with me and being sufficiently patient. 

Notwithstanding the circumstances, there are those categories that need a handful of entries until they are ultimately fueled at last:

Poetry (1 available slot)

Fanfiction (3 available slots; Furthermore, there is also one more available judging spot for the category, itself.)

Those genres are already full, nevertheless, they need 1-2 more judge/s, so that the judging process commence at last:

Mystery/Thriller (2 Free Spots)

Teen Fiction (1 Free Spot)

Fantasy (1 Free Spot)

Those genres have somewhat participants, nevertheless, they are lacking them: 

Horror (6 Available Spots)

Paranormal (5 Available Spots)

These categories have little to none participants:

Adventure + Action (0 Contestants)

Science Fiction + Humor (2 Contestants)

Short Story (1 Contestant Only)

Dear competitors and reviewers, tag somebody you know who is genuinely enthusiastic to be either a judge in the categories I listed or at least being part of the awards as a participant only.
