Fortunately, the judge actually knew something and told Lina about it.
Lina turned to Natalie and shared what she had learned after hearing it.
After hearing her words, Natalie was very taken aback. “They're ending the Aploth Youth
Design Competition early?”
“Melissa Mills confirmed as much. The information should be reliable because her uncle
serves as the chief secretary of the organizers.” Lina nodded grimly.
Biting her lip, Natalie stated, “I don't doubt Melissa's words. I'm just wondering why they
would want to end the design competition early. The competition between judges hasn't
even begun yet. Who then will design the World Games opening ceremony outfits for the
world leaders?”
“I don't know. We'll see what the organizers have to say.” Lina shook her head and
continued, “I'm sure they'll give us an explanation, else, nobody here would agree. After
all, all the judges here are well-known designers from different countries. They wouldn't
want to be judges if not for the chance to design clothes for the World Games opening
ceremony. After all, the reputation of this competition isn't very high. It would be better if
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey used that time to create clothes or hold their own fashion shows.”
Natalie remained silent. Indeed, the reason she had come to serve as a judge was to get
the chance to design outfits for the World Games opening ceremony. If not, she would
have refused the offer.
As Lina had said, the designers would not let this go if they ended the design competition
early and revoked their chance to design outfits for the World Games.
Natalie became calmer as she thought of this.
After all, the organizers would not be able to handle it and would undoubtedly give them a
satisfactory response with so many designers causing a commotion.
Natalie picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. She suppressed her restlessness and
waited for the arrival of the organizers.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the organizers finally arrived. They first apologized to
everyone before announcing the news that the competition would conclude early.
Natalie and Lina already knew about this, so their reaction was not as strong as the
others. As for the other designers who had no clue, they were bewildered to learn about
this.
They started to ask the organizers about the name list for the World Games opening
ceremony after coming to their senses.
This was the answer Natalie and Lina wanted to know too. They did not need to ask
because the others had already done so, and they could simply wait for the organizers'
response.
Thankfully, the organizers had anticipated how the designers would respond after hearing
about the early end of the competition, so they did not appear frantic. They took the
microphone and asked the designers who were more emotionally aggravated to calm
down before announcing the arrangements for the World Games opening ceremony
designer slots.
It turned out the reason for ending the Aploth Youth Design Competition early was
because the competition venue was going to be requisitioned. Hence, they decided to hold
the final round early to determine the winners.
As for the competition between the judges, it would also be held earlier.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe judges' competition was initially scheduled to be held after all the participants had
finished competing.
However, the competition between the judges would have to happen at the same time as
the participants to finish everything early.
As a result, they would not be able to act as judges and determine the winners of the first,
second, and third places.
Hence, the organizers planned to find other designers to act as judges for the finals of the
participants, while the current judges would be responsible solely for their own
competition.
The organizers invited a number of well-known top designers from around the world to
serve as judges for them to guarantee the fairness, impartiality, and transparency of the
competition.
In other words, even though all the competitions were finishing early, the judges would
not be at a disadvantage even with their competition being moved forward. The
organizers would make every effort to ensure everything was fair.
