Hi guys, this is DQ back again with the results of the relay OS competition.
I am so glad that the competition was held smoothly, though it was too much longer than I expected it to be. I was waiting for this day since quite a long time!
From the beginning, when I proposed the competition, to selecting the judges, and then grouping the participants, sending each one their part of story, and then finally all their efforts into making one story, which we have seen had good response from the readers too… all the best groups were amazing, and so were my judges.
And now, finally we have come to the last update regarding the RELAY OS COMPETITION. And this definitely feels like a dream I have accomplished, all thanks to Lord almighty and my dear dear participants, who put on their efforts despite every other issues. Love you all!
Winning is not everything, participation matters. Those who did not make it to the top 3, for you all, I would say, at least you had the nerves to pull off this beautifully. And trust me it was never easy to choose a winner. But then, someone is always better than another, even by a point!
I will reveal the winners here, only their names, if anyone wants to know their total, or a feedback, you can surely ask for one! I will try to respond to you at the earliest! (at college, currently..)
Also, the winner was selected on the basis of their phase 1 and phase 2 performance. The votes given by the readers was also taken into calculations, though that did not make much difference, because the cumulative average from the judges scores, my personal scores and their previous performance was too much to make a difference.
I am glad I met nicer people here! These participants, whom I never knew now hold a better place in my memories, I am sure with time, we would get closer and know each other more.
There were participants who were really prompt in their submissions, and there were participants whom I had to knock to Inform them of the deadline.
Now, what really mattered was the story they had written, so on that basis I have finalised I winners, but then I also felt that someone who was always prompt in their submissions deserve an applause too, so that participant is a special winner.
So the final winners of the relay OS competition are:
Second runner-up: DARSHINI

WAIT….IT IS NOT OVER YET… one more winner is there… who is simply too nice and dedicated! It would be too wrong if she is not appreciated.. The reason she failed to make into the top three was nothing but her previous performance… yet I must say, she did definitely work hard into getting her group story into a tract, still may be the judges did not find it worthy enough, yet she managed to get a score of 77.83 in her individual performance for her group! She is one kind of person, you would look forward to work with, because she is very dedicated!!! And this decision was entirely mine.
So the SPECIAL WINNER is: BUSHRAFAHEEM123!!!!!

Judge 1: HARSHADA
Judge 2: KARTIKK
Judge 3: A12345

One of the judges, never really judged.. So I will not be mentioning that judge.
These 4 super people helped me a lot!!! And they definitely deserves a prize!!!

A permanent follow from me on wattpad/instagram.(applicable for those having accts.)
Honest recommendation…(in case of further working together)
Their interviews will also be featured into my collected interviews of inspiring and precious souls…(along with the winners interview.. Though I do not have an exact idea about when I will be publishing that.. But I hope we will be in touch, so when published I can send them one copy!)
And ofcourse they will be getting a friend for life!!!
