Comment of the Editorial Board on the competition entries:
'Super Writers Awards’' concludes with a good response. Over a hundred serials were submitted for the competition. It is not a lie that the stories with different plots and storylines have brought joy to the competition. The efforts of all the participants in the competition are commendable. Congratulations to all who participated.
Many of the stories submitted were not completed within the competition deadline. And some stories did not comply with the competition rules of minimum word count, a minimum number of chapters and publication under subscription. Such stories are not considered for the competition. We wish the writers to submit more good works keeping in mind all the rules of the competition in the coming days.
Almost all of the rest of the stories had different plots and storylines. Some of the stories have very typographical errors and improper use of symbols. In the following days, more attention was paid to grammar and linguistic purity.
Among the submitted stories, the best stories were selected as winning entries. But works selected in the list of winning works do not necessarily mean great works. Participation in the competition is the first step to victory. So in the coming days follow all the rules of the competition, pay attention to grammar and language purity and create good works and participate in the competition. We hope that all writers will create and publish amazing works for the competition.
