Re: Strongest Start Competition 2015 is Launched

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've posted several reviews that have had the coin symbol beside them but my available points haven't changed so I can't publish my first chapter. Does it take awhile to update or am I doing something wrong?  Thank you :-)   ...Oh and having read the above posts, I'd like to say that my reviews weren't generic, hopefully I've provided some useful feedback.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the 2015 Strongest Start Book Competition. The competition has over $1,000 in prizes in addition to the winner receiving an opportunity for their book to be reviewed by an Amazon Hall of Fame Reviewer, when it is finally published.

The launch of the contest coincides with the release of our new contest platform. We can now create contests for any group and in the future will allow groups to create, release, and market their own contests.


Entering is a big different from the old site. To enter, there is now a new tab when you publish work called Contests. That tab allows you to enter your book into the contest. If it says you are not eligible, then you either do not have your work posted to Premium, or the work was posted too long ago and you need to repost.


If you have other questions, feel free to post them.


Good luck!

Sol,
May I enter the contest and still edit my material until the due date? I assume, if so, that whatever chapter edits I make will also occur in the files publsihed for the contest...?

Thanks,
Tonya Mitchell

Hi Tonya,
Yes, you may edit up until the end. We will pull the last version on the 31st and that is what will be judged.
Best,
Sol

I just want to make sure, because I'm a special kind of crazy.  All I had to do was publish the three chapters, then go to contest and click enter, correct?  It says I'm in, I just want to make sure that no lights of confetti go off.  If it did, I totally missed them.

Re: Strongest Start Competition 2015 is Launched

If you see your entry on this list, you are in.

Sol, I think lights and confetti would be a nice touch when someone enters a contest. big_smile

Re: Strongest Start Competition 2015 is Launched

Hi, this is my first time submitting to the contest as I just joined this website and the Premium group very recently.  I was a little confused on how to go about it so I've posted the first three chapters of my novel as three posts, Chapter 1 -2 -3. Is that right? Or is it all supposed to be one post?  Please advise so I don't miss the deadline.  Thank you!
