Where grades are the same in the top three places\, the judge will indicate which is the better story for the sole purpose of computing award scores. Starting February of 2013\, there will be two male and two female judges.\n \n For poetry\, the above will be applied but evaluation is largely subjective.\n \n Recognition\n Besides the awards being presented during the AWG general meeting\,\n the first-place author will have the option of reading all (or up to five minutes)\n of his/her story/poem. If that author is not present or declines\, the option is\n given to the second-place author. The final option goes to the third-place winner\n if neither first nor second place authors choose to read their story/poem or are\n not present.\n All submissions receiving certificates will be published in PDF format under\n the web page\, Winner's Stories (see above)
