Hi Wattpadders, 

Are you ready for the Wattys? Submissions are now officially open! 

You've got a story to tell, and it's time to let the world read it... By entering it into The 2021 Watty Awards!

The Watty Awards is our annual writing contest and your chance to show the world what you're made of. We're officially open for submissions! Got a dream story you're looking for motivation to finish, a brand-new idea you've been workshopping? Now is the time to get it reader-ready.

We know this is all super exciting, so let us get some of the nitty gritty over with before sending you on your way:

- Only completed novels will be accepted

- You have until September 30th at 11:59pm EST to submit your stories, but make sure you're happy with your work because you can't change anything after submitting

- We've added a brand new category for Best Cover this year (for english titles), and we've teamed up with Canva as the official sponsor.

- For detailed information on eligibility requirements and more, visit the Wattys website. 

Now that you have all the important information you need, it's time to get writing. 

Good luck, Wattpadders. We can't wait to read your submissions!
