Wow. Winner in Story category and also, Runner Up in the contest??!! I absolutely didn't expect that. Thank you to the judges panel.

Congratulations to all the winners and runners up.

Cheers to us Bhavi for being runners up as a pair. That OS was the one I decided on last so it is a huge surprise.

Also, congrats Priya for being runner up in the graphics category for my OS that didn't win.

And, Parm... even though the OS I wrote for our pair didn't win, I was so happy to enter this contest with you. Congratulations to you and Shiri for winning the contest as a pair.

Thank you Stuti and Raji for hosting this contest. It was a fun way to get back into writing after almost a break of 2 years.

This is the end of my award winning speech.

P.S.: Do I post the OS in a thread or on the FF section of IPKKND Forum? Do tell.

Please ask your graphics partner of each story to add your names to the book covers and post them as well. All book covers are beautiful. After a month or so, you can migrate them to FF section along with comments and reactions. Members who visit IPKKND forum may not check FF section regularly, but check the first page of IPK forum for new stories.

Cheers,

Raji

We recommend posting in a thread on IPK main forum as a lot of readers still prefer the old forum and threads format. But we leave the ultimate choice to you .

I can just post threads and then later migrate them to the FF sections. Will do this in the evening.

Congratulations to Parm, Manju, Shiri, Mrina, Priya, Bhavna and Stuti for winning awards in various categories.

Big round of applause to everyone who took part in the contest.

Another round of applause to our lovely judges.

A big thanks to every single one of you for making this contest a successful event.

Stuti and I thoroughly enjoyed organising it.

A request to all Writers and Graphicers. Please post your stories on IPK forum along with the book covers with your names on it. Please open a different thread for each story. Many IPK members look for stories on IPK forum. They seldom check FF section.

You can migrate your stories to FF section at a later date for your regular readers.

Thank you Stuti for the beautiful siggies. They are so pretty.

Cheers..

Congrats to all the winners and runner ups👏💖

Congrats to all winners and runners up! I will post both my stories soon in both IPK and FF section!

Graphicers, can you please add your copyright to the covers and send it to me?
