There appears to be some confusion so I would like to clear a few things up.

Although we do have certain criteria by which the contest is judged, that criteria can be altered depending on the contest as well as sponsor.

I will consider implementing a proper appeal channel for the future. That being said, there were many good works.

We do everything in our power to keep the contest as unbiased as we can to offer everybody an equal chance at winning.

The missing video bonuses have been corrected.

Feel free to message Hive account@originalworks if you have concerns for the time being.

Also, with an increase in quality writing, it is possible that there will be a change in the bonus structure to award more authors for upcoming events!
