We’re so excited to announce the WorldEmber 2021 winners! Use this post to know if you’ve won and what you should do if you have!
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, fill in this Google Form ASAP! IN most cases, we will send these details to the sponsors, who will send the prizes directly to you! You MUST fill in the form by Friday Feb 18th, or you will forfeit your prize.
How do I find my name?
The list of WorldEmber 2021 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 Liana 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 prize, so make sure you fill the form anyway! We’ll delete them once the prize giving is over.
FAQ: What kinds of Prizes are there in the WorldEmber 2021 Winners list?
There are a bunch of different kinds of awards you might have won!

Congratulations to all WorldEmber 2021 winners, and thanks to everyone who participated and shared their creativity! If you’re feeling like you need another challenge… stay tuned to our social media to learn all about the upcoming events!
For the blinking-empty-checkbox imaginations among us: Should we be looking in any particular place for a confirmation that we have successfully completed the Google Docs form? I did so on the 7th of February but I know sometimes the internet eats things without communications to either party.
Hi there, Jarissa!
We want to reward our community members for all of the efforts you guys put in during these challenges. The fact that you won a prize is a testament to your active participation in the event. Ensuring this means taking our time cross-referencing the list of prize-winners, our google forms documents, and emails altogether to ensure the internet doesn’t eat anything our prize-winners have earned. It will take some time, so thank you very much for your patience and understanding.
