Why wasn't I chosen as a winner?

Winners are decided by a panel of judges based on several criteria, score being one of them. A higher score improves your chance of being selected but isn’t the only factor. Creativity, thematic fit and other criteria may weigh in more. It really depends on the judges and is ultimately a decision that the judges make at their discretion.

The Terms & Conditions provides all the details–you can find it on the submissions page (where you first submitted your story), as well as your storyteller page as long as the event hasn’t ended yet (click the “View all prizes” link).
