All contest winners are selected by our algorithm, which analyzes 1200 reading behaviors including but not limited to likes, reviews, comments, and shares -- no single aspect of a story determines whether it will win.
Stories are reviewed to ensure they comply with specific contest terms before winners are contacted.
Once the algorithm selects the winners' stories, a member of our marketing team will then email them to notify them directly before any public announcements are made. Then, posts on our social media will go out.
Due to the large number of submissions received, we will only contact you if you are placed in the top 3.
