We’re so happy to finally announce the World Anvil WorldEmber 2020 Prize Winners! Congratulations to EVERYONE who took part in the WorldEmber 2020 challenge!
Read the first part of this post carefully, so you know what to do!
It contains full instructions for how to find your name, and what to do if you’ve won a prize.
How to claim your prize!
To claim your prize, email Phoebe at contact@worldanvil.com with:
-
your World Anvil USERNAME
-
your World Anvil EMAIL ADDRESS (and your active email address, if different)
-
the PRIZE you won (it’s detailed in this post)
-
your FULL INTERNATIONAL POSTAL ADDRESS (only needed for physical prizes —check the details)
-
your MOBILE/CELL PHONE NUMBER (shipping companies often need this) (only needed for physical prizes —check the details)
We will then send these details to the sponsors, who will send the prizes directly to you!
How do I find my name?
The list of WorldEmber 2020 Winners is pretty long, so follow these steps to check if you’re in it!
- Open the “Find” function on your browser. That should be Ctrl+F on most systems, Command+F on Mac
- Search the page for your World Anvil Username.
- Check carefully —some people have won more than one prize!
FAQ: I won a prize (or got a reserve place) but I don’t want it
Email Phoebe at contact@worldanvil.com with your World Anvil username and just let us know you don’t want your prize! We have a list of reserves who will be happy to receive something!
FAQ: I’m a reserve —what does that mean?
Not all our prizes get claimed, and so we draw reserve names. If you’re a reserve you still might get a surprise prize, so make sure you send us your details! We’ll delete them once the prize giving is over.
FAQ: What kinds of Prizes are there in the WorldEmber 2020 Prize Winners list?
There are a bunch of different kinds of awards you might have won!
The World Anvil Winners Prize Draw
A random prize draw for WorldEmber winners! If you completed 10,000 words or more of original worldbuilding and followed the rules on the WorldEmber 2020 homepage, you might have won a prize in the random prize draw!
A Special Category Award!

Is there any way we can get any critique the judges had of our short list articles?
Is there some kind of confirmation for when you claim your prize? I emailed a week ago, but I haven’t gotten a response and since my email can be a little weird I was wondering if somehow it borked. Or maybe I’m just paranoid.
