Stories are evaluated according to the contest's official judging criteria by Ripple Foundation's volunteer judges. Typically, one or two winners are selected each year based on overall scores. Winning stories are published as both e-books and printed books, available on major platforms such as Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play Books, and OverDrive.
