The writer for the above projects will need to affirm Realm Makers statement of faith.

- We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, and in His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work, and His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe in the salvation of lost and sinful man only through the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- We believe in the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Writers, publishers, or artists can submit work, but the submitter needs to be able to affirm the statement of faith with confidence on the writer’s behalf.
The award will go to the submitter unless otherwise requested.
Please note: works published from January 1, 2021 to Dec 31, 2024 are eligible for submission in this category.
Content Guidelines
Submissions must be the work of Christian creators.
Does that mean it must have an obvious Christian message? Absolutely not. It means the author will need to agree to our Statement of Faith. We’re looking for amazing projects by Christians. That’s it.
Artificial Intellegence:
Text or graphics generated from AI, machine learning, or similar algorithmic tools are not eligible to be submitted to the Realm Awards.
Mature Content Guidelines:
Works with mature content will be accepted, but gratuitous content could result in disqualification at our judges’ sole discretion. On the entry form, you will be prompted to indicate if your submission contains sex, profanity, or intense/frightening content. When in doubt, flag your content with a very conservative eye. This will ensure your book gets judged by people able to score a book that contains grittier content impartially .
No erotica. No gratuitous gore. No glorification of violence or other flagrant sin.
