Below is an excerpt from the finalist award notification:

We are pleased to inform you that your work reached the top judging level of the 2020 Inception contest, and was selected as a finalist.

Submissions that rose to this level demonstrated a mastery of skills, and are imbued with a quality that marks them as outliers.

Although the work did not win the prize, being named as a finalist is still an exceptional accomplishment. Over 600 entries were received this year.

Because of the submission's quality, we would love to publish it in our upcoming edition. 

I am very pleased with this recognition, and hope it continues to open doors to the eventual publishing of my novel BLOOD CREEK, which is my most prized piece of writing.
