Hello everyone, I'm Ikram and I'm new here.

I'm curious about the voting system, how does it work?

Hello everyone, this is the writer Maya. I'll now give you a brief summary of my story, "The Stolen Pen." The story is about a young, freelance writer who falls in love with a man who doesn't reciprocate her feelings. But when he discovers her unique talent, he feigns interest and begins persuading her to give him her novels, making promises he has no intention of keeping until she agrees and starts giving him her work. Little by little, he becomes a literary giant, and when the writer realizes he's been lying to her, she decides to expose him. But he fears for his career, so he decides to imprison her in the basement of a palace from the Joseon Dynasty, which was once a graveyard for spirits. Sometimes the writer refuses to write for him, and he beats her. Once, he stabbed her hand with a pen... I'll continue…

Hello everyone, I'm the writer Maya. By the way, that's a pseudonym. I'm actually 12 years old, but I've been writing since I was 10. I adore fantasy, mystery, and magic stories, and I dislike happy romances, so my overall style tends towards the dark. I'd appreciate your feedback on my first story, which is an idea for a screenplay.

Hello, I'm a new member. I have some ideas and stories for exciting and wonderful scenarios. I'd like to participate in a competition. I don't know anything yet, so please let me know. This is Maya, the writer. By the way, Maya is a pseudonym.

This year I participate, I been working hard since 2017, some years I won in 5th or 4th place, but never top 3. I think I did a good job, but the voting was kinda hard to do as some contestants have a lot of followers. I don't know where I failed to be in top 3 as I am a digital Illustrator and webtoon/comic maker.

I still happy for 5th place tho. I thank you everyone who supports my art.

Hola a toda la comunidad, espero de corazón que se encuentren muy bien. 🌸Hace poco comencé a buscar oportunidades para cumplir uno de los sueños más grandes de mi vida: viajar al país que siempre he anhelado conocer. 💫

Soy nueva aquí y aún estoy aprendiendo cómo funciona todo, pero quería compartir con ustedes mi ilusión y mis ganas de lograrlo. Sé que no soy la única que tiene este sueño; muchas de nosotras compartimos ese mismo deseo profundo de alcanzar un lugar que representa tanto para nosotros. 🌍💖

Quiero decirles que no dejen de intentarlo, sin importar cuántas veces parezca difícil o lejano. Cada paso, por pequeño que sea, nos acerca un poco más a esa meta. ✨Confíen, crean y sigan soñando, porque estoy segura de que, tarde o temprano, todas lo lograremos. 🌈💪

It's so bizarre to me that there are all these accounts defending the first-place art winner in such a weird way. Everyone knows she didn't even meet the basic requirements to be in the voting round. The strangest part is that these people defending her so obsessively 'don't even know her'. It obviously can't be a fellow contestant, that would make zero sense. How could anyone who actually followed all the rules, only to lose to someone who broke them, possibly defend the winner? It's completely insane.

@Everyone

It's very disappointing overall, as everyone here loves Korea, and it's truly shocking that the overall winner, the best among thousands of participants (who has already won in previous years), wins again without fulfilling a fundamental requirement. I'm not questioning her previous victory, as it has nothing to do with this contest (I only mention it because it seems quite curious that she wins twice) and this time without meeting the basic criteria. Honestly, it's very disappointing...

It's incredible how I've tried to communicate through every possible means provided by the contest and they offer no explanation. @Everyone
