Writing Awards Novels & Stories

He says. I know what the Aurora Award is. It’s nothing serious at all, it just happens to be the most prestigious awards in history. The one award that creatives work their asses off all year long for. But I still don’t know what that has to do with me. “Okay…?” I ask. “You know what it’s like. Industry giants, the best you have ever encountered. The biggest press coverage…” he continues. I don’t like where this is going at all. He keeps going on and on about how designers and every creative fight for a seat in the front two and whatnot.

“Are you serious about it? Do you really want the award? “Arian, I want the award. Is that too much to ask?” “You're not even a member,” I said as calmly as I could. “So?” He shrugged like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “You are the president, you can bend the rules. You said I could ask for anything and that’s what I want.” My jaw tightened. “It doesn’t work like that.” “Why not?” His tone sharpened. “Because… because there are rules,” I said, standing straight. “The awards are for members who show up, who contribute, who actually read the books, Kael. I can’t just hand it over to you like it’s some pen.”

“Eeeeeiiiiiiiiii.” Rose squealed in shock and dropped the letter like it was on fire. The Business Awards was the biggest event in the business world. It was basically an award night for businesses and people who had done great things or made visible impacts in their business sector. Getting an award was a massive accomplishment and bragging rights were certainly earned. It was strictly by invitation and held every year. Rose had assumed that she would probably be invited or tag along as Wayne’s plus one. Wayne was a regular there and had worn a number of awards since he had officially delved into the business world.

Their eyes shined with anticipation. Although the emcee did not say it explicitly, according to their status in the art world, Jackson would give the award to the bronze winner, Aquila would give the award to the silver winner, and the much-anticipated Sunflower would naturally give the award to the gold winner. The rest of the artists would hand out the Excellence Awards and Most Popular Awards. "Gosh, I never thought my idol would really come today and possibly give me an award. I'm so happy!" "Congratulations."

Chapter 173 Viona's POV The invitation arrived in a black envelope, its edges gilded in silver. It was discreetly slipped onto my desk, though I had known to expect it. The Annual Global Media Awards-the most prestigious ceremony in the industry-where every CEO, journalist, and broadcaster of renown gathered to celebrate the year's achievements. My assistant, Mara, lingered by the door, her expression unreadable as I slid a manicured finger beneath the seal and unfolded the heavy parchment.

"Sorry mom, I know I ask too much questions but I don't deserved this place, who knows me and besides I've not done anything to deserve a seat here, hope you didn't bribe my way here?" Linn narrows her eyes, I immediately regret my statement. There is a frown on Rex's face. "Bribe? Why would we do that and besides the body in charge of the selection do not take bribes, it's made of people who come from different part of the world, they sit down together and debate on those that would get the awards this year after careful delibration." Rex interjects. "Oh! So sorry." I get silenced. "Don't worry, you'll get to know what you did which got you here when the award-giving time comes." Linn assur

Two floors were used and from what I guessed the business men and their wives were at the top floor while the masses were below. It was really a huge one. “What's the award for?” I turned to Calvin but then he only stared at me and looked away. Just sit and await what the award is for, I told myself and soon, there was a briefing while people clapped. We were served drinks by the waiters and waitresses and after about an hour of irrelevant talk, they finally got down to the important part. “As we all know, there are two alcoholic companies that are the best. So, which one will be nominated for this award?” The MC pointed at his right and the certificate was uncovered with glitters around it.

Leilani cleared her throat and leaned towards Mia. “You really don’t know what today is?” “I have thought of it too. I don’t know,” She shook her head. “So, literally only Lorenzo knows where this event is?” “Although…” Mia trailed off and tilted her head. “What?” “There is an award ceremony today.” “Award ceremony?” “Yes. It is the largest award ceremony in the country and it takes place once in a year, of course.” “You don’t think that is where we are going, do you?” “Brother literally has no business being there. He has never attended one before either. So, I doubt you would be going there.”

I could hear him because it is not that far from where I am standing right now. I couldn't move. I was completely surprised by what he just did. He didn't forget that I like vanilla-flavored ice cream. "Your treat! Your treat! Your treat!" the crowd screamed repeatedly. Dale just grabbed the 1st place award in the feature writing category at the University's Power of Pen workshop. More than 500 aspiring writers joined the said workshop from different universities and Dale secured the 1st spot. I couldn't stop myself from joining their cheers. I'm so happy for him.
