We never thought we'd have a legit COURTROOM JUDGE in our contests!

His book ("Every Other Weekend") is one of the top non-fiction books of the year, exploring growing up with two very different dads--a biological father who famously voice-acted on the radio and a step-father who helped invent plastic credit cards.

We’re proud to introduce the third & final Iron Author in our upcoming Clash of Champions contest: @petereliottofficial, our 2026 Iron Author of Fiction Books! Peter’s OCA journey began in 2023 with “A Dream of Shadows,” which earned a 94/100, won Best World-Building, and finished 2nd Place for Best Fiction Book. He returned in our incredibly competitive 2024 Summer Contest with “A Bargain with Darkness,” earning 94+/100, 1st Place in Fantasy, and another 2nd Place finish in Fiction. Peter came close twice. Then came “Chasm of Night.” The conclusion to his Shadow Bidder trilogy earned 95+/100 and broke through in our 2025 Clash of Champions, winning 1st Place for Best Fiction Book, Fantasy, Action / Adventure, and an OCA Ultimate Championship Belt. It later became one of our 2025 Fiction Books of the Year and tied for the #1 spot among our Top Fiction Books of 2025. Peter could have stopped there. Instead, he expanded the world with the prequel “Falconbrow,” which earned 94+/100 and won 1st Place for Best Fiction Book of Summer 2026, Fantasy, Best Writing, Best World-Building, Best Character, and an OCA Ultimate Championship Trophy. From runner-up, to runner-up again, to Ultimate Champion and Fiction Book of the Year, Peter kept building. He didn’t just create one outstanding book. He created an outstanding world. That is what an Iron Author looks like. Compete alongside Peter and our other Iron Authors in the 2026 Clash of Champions!

ONE YEAR AGO, Self-Publishing with Dale called his shot and, by the end of the year, made it happen! @selfpubwithdale became the OCA Ultimate Championship Belt winner in our 2025 Clash of Champions contest! His journey to the top wasn't a smooth, flat, and easy path-- it was a climb! His first book in our contests, "Secrets of the Permafree Book," received an 8.6/10 in our 2022 Spring Contest, falling short of an overall win in Non-Fiction. His second book in our contests, “Self-Publishing for New Authors," competed in our 2024 Clash of Champions contest. It managed to win 1st-place in Non-Fiction and an OCA trophy, but fell just short of the championship belt. Declaring his intentions to win the ultimate prize, Dale entered "Wide Publishing for Authors," which finished in 3rd-place in Non-Fiction in our 2025 Spring Contest, falling just short again. However, Dale didn't give up. He remained determined to earn the OCA Ultimate Championship Belt through sheer quality of his work. And HE DID IT! In our 2025 Clash of Champions contest, he earned a 9.6/10 score (tying our highest score ever) and won the grand prize with his "Self-Publishing with Dale Omnibus!" Dale stands as a reminder that the life of an author and a creator is not a straight arrow to the top of the ladder. It's often riddled with ups and downs, twists and turns, setbacks, disappointments, and opportunities to build, learn, grow, and challenge ourselves. Think you can be like Dale? Compete in our 2026 Clash of Champions contest! Enter at OutstandingCreator.com today! The contest is open to everyone with a book to share. Compete alongside previous winners in our final contest of the year! by @outstandingcreatorawards

As we approach our final contest of the year, the 2026 Clash of Champions, we’re proud to introduce the second of our three hand-selected Iron Authors: George Beasley, our 2026 Iron Author of Non-Fiction Books! Iron Authors aren’t selected simply because they have won awards. We look for creators whose journeys represent passion, perseverance, growth, resilience, and the willingness to keep creating even when the road does not lead directly to first place. George’s OCA journey embodies those qualities remarkably well. George first entered in 2024 with “The Invisible Soul,” a deeply personal memoir about trauma, faith, healing, and hope. It earned 93+/100 in our first review and finished 2nd Place for Best Non-Fiction Book of Summer 2024. When George returned for the 2024 Clash of Champions, the book improved to 94/100, but once again finished 2nd Place for Best Non-Fiction Book. Twice, George came within striking distance of the top prize. Instead of simply resubmitting the same work and hoping for a different result, he kept writing and came back with something new. In 2025, “The Ominous Struggle” earned 95+/100, showing considerable growth in its writing, structure, presentation, and exploration of struggle, faith, suffering, healing, and redemption. This time, George broke through. “The Ominous Struggle” earned 1st Place for Best Non-Fiction Book of Spring 2025 and became an OCA Ultimate Championship Trophy Winner. George then brought it to the 2025 Clash of Champions, where it again earned 1st Place for Best Non-Fiction Book, along with 1st Place honors in Christian Literature and Motivational / Inspirational Books. By year’s end, “The Ominous Struggle” ranked #2 among our Top Non-Fiction Books of 2025, while George finished as OCA’s #4 ranked author of 2025. His journey went from 2nd Place, to 2nd Place again, to 1st Place, and then 1st Place again. He kept writing, kept learning, and came back better. That is what an Iron Author looks like. We are immensely proud to welcome George Beasley, our 2026 Iron Author of Non-Fiction Books, back to the Clash! Think your book can compete?
