Dicken’s Literary Excellence Award
This award merits exceptional original work, elegance, passion, and beauty in a way that elicits emotion. The writer explores the audience’s emotion through fiction, short prose, and poems blended with fresh concepts, and strategies to make readers ache, cheer characters on, or hold their sides with laughter. Judges may also focus on gesture, pacing, tone, juxtaposition, hyperbole, personification, double entendres, etc. The contemporary media and art movements have gradually affected literature into modern standards with features that contradict the traditional idea of elegance and perfection. This award aspires to maintain the standard of excellence while incorporating current ideas and not sacrificing beauty and quality.
Faulkner Noble Awards
This award honors literary firms or writers with remarkable benevolent and humanitarian acts. We ensure that only meritorious contenders receive the prize by following stringent judging standards. The aforementioned standards assist the jury in determining or rating the candidate’s sincerity, enthusiasm, advocacy, and humanitarian impact. With increased accessibility, the circulation and dissemination of news and media have developed at a rapid pace. Unfortunately, greater accessibility would also make it easier for fake news to disseminate. This award recognizes unsung individuals who have dedicated their lives to humanitarian work. Through our reliable platform, we hope to broadcast undiscovered notable stories of modern saints.
Hemingway Service Awards
This award recognizes companies that provide exceptional support to new and indie authors in general. It is our way of rewarding service providers that prioritize passion more than anything. It is terrible that renowned bestselling or media sensations are given more attention these days rather than investing in rookie or self-publishers. We aim to encourage more firms and independent service providers in the publishing and rights management industries to support such causes, while also giving new and indie writers hope and not killing their enthusiasm.
Gutenberg Service Awards
This award recognizes publishers, agents, or any firm that exhibited initiative, innovation, and creativity in their pursuit of industry excellence. Our judges will investigate the nominees’ most recent scheme, which could be in the form of software. machinery, productivity, and system tools that contribute considerably to the industry’s economic success. Other important elements considered by our judges include target audience (indie writers, small businesses, etc.) and environmental effects. To stay up with the competition, one must adapt to the ever-changing technologies. Literary arts receive less attention in terms of technical growth and innovation. With this award, we hope to raise awareness in the specialized market for the newest invention while also expressing gratitude towards innovators for their hard work and committed support to the industry.
