Please use a beta. If you don’t have a beta, Project Team Beta or Sparkly Red Pen should be able to help you out. Judges cannot participate, beta, or pre-read submissions, so please don't ask them :)
We encourage you to pimp the contest, but this is an anonymous contest. Please don’t hint about which entry is yours. The same applies to betas. Let's keep it fair for everyone, 'kay?
We'd love to see entries from new authors, so if you've been thinking about writing but have held back, use this as an excuse!
