Judging
The O.W.L club officers will be independently scoring the short stories on a rubric scale. None of the officers will submit a story in order to keep the voting as unbiased as possible. The stories will be scored 1-30 by two randomly selected officers and the sum of both scores will be the score for the story. If there is a tie we will meet to re-evaluate the tied stories.
If you have any questions, contact us at mhhsopenwriting@lammersvilleus
Happy writing,
O.W.L Club Officers
