VOTING IS NOW CLOSED.
Comments are always welcome.
Your entries were SO AMAZING! Honestly, it was impossible to narrow them to five, especially when something blew us away in one category and then something was equally amazing in another category. How could one be compared against the other?
So we changed plans, and narrowed the entries to the top three in each of five categories.
The hardest part is that there were other EXCEPTIONAL entries that deserved to be here. We saw the effort, quality, and enthusiasm of your submissions. Even if your name is not below, we still loved what you showed us.
And fans, now it is YOUR TURN TO VOTE! Here’s how:
- Watch/read/listen to each entry and choose your favorite from each category.
- In the comments, vote for the number from each category that was your favorite. These will be privately recorded, so your votes may not show up.
- If you choose to add compliments to your comment, those will show up below. Please keep it positive!
- Only one vote per category per person.
- Voting ends on July 26 at noon EST.
NOW…here are the finalists (in random order):
ORIGINAL SONG
ENTRY 1: Ava and Abigail
“Our fan entry is [an attempt] to mimic Jaron’s sarcastic narration in a quick summary, telling his story in both regular words and song lyrics. We called it “Ascending”, obviously based off of the trilogy name, but we also named it that out of excitement because Jaron’s story is being continued.”
ENTRY 2: Jocelyn
“I named this song “King Jaron,” from the scene when Sage is riding on Mystic, in his last moments of freedom. He gets to the stream and is thinking, and Mott comes to him and as they’re talking it gets a little more intense as you realize what is happening. If this was a movie scene, I wanted the music to be like what you would hear.”
ENTRY 3: ELISE AND SOPHIE
“We wrote several different themes and attempted to put them together as if it was a medley of movie music. The opening theme is supposed to set the stage and introduce the world of the Ascendance series. This is followed by exciting, haunting, and victorious themes to represent the different parts of the books. We tried to intersperse the music with scenes of Imogen and Amarinda from the books.”
ART
ENTRY 1: NIDA
“The False Prince was one of the first books I read that truly got me into reading. The plot, character development, world-building, dialogue, and themes came together so well that the story and characters are still very close to me, even 5 years later! You may be able to tell that it depicts the first scene in The Runaway King. This was one of my favourite introductory scenes and the first line of this book was so very Jaron.”
ENTRY 2: MAYHLEE
Title: Lament
“Inspired by The Shadow Throne. This illustration – titled Lament – represents the fallen soldiers and post-battles bloodshed. Darker tones of the characters depict the anguish and misery, while the contrasting lighter background depicts a future hope from an ending war.”
ENTRY 3: KATIE
“Growing up, The False Prince was more than just a good book. It offered me an escape when life got rough. It gave me the courage to pursue my dreams as a writer, and today, it’s still supporting me through life…”
VIEW KATIE’S IMAGES HERE.
FAN FICTION
ENTRY 1: BROOKLYN
Brooklyn’s goal was to write the longest existing fan fiction from the series, and she achieved it, completing a 111,237 word book (nearly 30,000 words longer than anything I have written for the series) – and the best part is, her writing is really great! If she can do this, you’ll see her name on her own novels one day. She also created and manages the Wiki Fandom Page for the series. Read Chapter one of her story HERE (and keep reading if you’d like!)
ENTRY 2: VALERIE
Valerie also submitted a mind-blowing original composition on harp, proving she is as musically gifted as she is gifted as a writer. This piece, entitled “The Book and the Vial,” gets inside Jaron’s head perfectly, and is beautifully written as well. Read it HERE!
ENTRY 3: MINEA
Not only is Minea’s writing wonderful and far beyond her years in talent, but I also loved that she has been writing Ascendance fan fiction for years, proving herself to be a long-time, enthusiastic fan. This piece is titled, “The Ascendance Trilogy Story” but her other works deserve to be read as well.

ENTRY 1: KAYLEIGH
ENTRY 2: KATIE
ENTRY 3: JENNA
OTHER
ENTRY 1: AMEERAH
Ameerah spoke here with such openness and warmth, I felt her speaking from her heart about her love for this series.
ENTRY 2: RUBI AND LETICIA
Not only did these two young women create a game, but it looks amazing and is definitely one I would sit down to play. So inventive and fun!
ENTRY 3: SARAH AND JOSHUA
Anyone who has played Minecraft knows that most things can be built, but these two actually designed Farthenwood, and did a fantastic job. I cannot imagine the hours of work that went into creating this.
THE YOUNGER CROWD (13 and under)
ENTRY 1: BONNIE
In full disclosure, Bonnie is older, but most of the actors are younger, so I thought it would fit here. This was a super fun video to watch!
ENTRY 2: PENDING
The permission form has not yet been returned for this finalist. If and when it is, the entry will be posted here. Stay tuned!
3. OLIVIA
We dare you to watch this and not be charmed by her enthusiasm and ability to express herself in such a sincere and intelligent way.
4. BEN, BELLA, ANNE, SAMANTHA
They wrote several scripts for a television series of the books, and also composed original music for a soundtrack. Here is one song, titled, “Sage/Jaron’s Theme.”
5. KARA
Kara created fantastic artwork, memes, and a fan video based on THE SHADOW THRONE, complete with original music. Here is the video!
We hope you made it this far, and that you enjoyed all of these as much as we did. Now, it’s time for YOU to vote!
Leave a comment below for which number was your favorite in each category. When the comments are moderated, the votes will be removed, but any additional feedback will be left in so that the entrants can see what you wrote.
Voting ends on July 26 at noon EST. You may only vote once.

Olivia is so passionate about your books!
Olivia speaks to the young voracious reader in me! Her ability to just get lost in the books shows how connected she is to them!
Jocelyn’s music was absolutely amazing and I will be listening to that! And (as a piano player myself) you are incredibly talented!
Art Entry #2 reflects Sage/Jaron in one of his more thoughtful times
Brooklyn, I started reading that and it is amazing so far! (Also to Jennifer, I wrote a fanfiction, can’t help getting my hopes up, maybe try sending the email again maybe I missed it or something? Or probably I just lost. just asking. *wink wink*)
The Lego False Prince- I can only imagine the effort it took to create that! It is really wonderful!
The Queen’s Cross game looks really interesting!
On Bonnie’s trailer, I loved Conner’s goatee. LOL
I loved every single one of these! It made my day! Congrats to all the winners!
Thanks that means a lot Alana!

All works were so amazing and all participants so talented. It’s understandable why it was impossible to choose the finalists the original way as every art piece here is so incredible.
I want to congratulate everyone on the hard work that you’ve done; you can all be so proud of yourselves.
Music:
I loved the lyrics of Ava’s and Abigail’s song, the powerful melody of Jocelyn’s piece and the advanced use of violins in Elise and Sophie’s music.
Art:
All pieces of art were so perfect and done in so many different styles that it was a hard decision. The attention to detail in Nida’s artwork, the raw emotion in Mayhlee’s work and the brillian character placing in Katie’s book cover.
Fan Fiction:
Fantastic work from all stories. The amount of effort that must have gone into writing Brooklyn’s story is beyond imagination.
Valerie’s work, without a doubt is equally good and powerful.
Minea’s work has been done with care.
Video:
Kayleigh’s amazing work has taken a lot of editing and therefore patience and hard work.
The emotions showcased in Katie’s video is astounding, even without many details in a lot of the scenes.
Jenna’s video must have taken a lot of time to do and it’s very well done.
Other:
Ameerah spoke with such emotion and care, and was able to portray all the love that fans feel in her video.
Ruby’s and Leticia’s idea of Queen’s Cross is injenious and must have taken ages to create.
Sarah and Joshua’s Minecraft house took days to make and the time that it took needs to be appreciated.
The Young Crowd:
Bonnies work must have taken a lot of time to make with all their props and acting.
Olivia’s video is so full of exitement and care and the importance of the books is clear in her speech.
Ben, Bella, Anne and Samantha’s music is made with not so usual instruments and has a interesting melody.
Kara created a melody that sinks deep and is full of emotion.
All the artists in this competition are talented and deserve recognision and appreciation. I hope all contestants, even those who didn’t reach this round, are proud of what they have done and proud of their efforts.
thank you for your comments. I’m glad you like our board game. It really made my day.
I don’t know if it went through the first time but….I wanted to thank you for the kind feedback! It did take a long time from concept to finish and I happy you enjoyed it 🙂

The original song by gets my vote! Well done!
Original Song
The orinial songs were very beautiful I really liked the lyrics for the 1st song and I also like the intensity of the piano, well played!! The 3rd I love how you guys even dressed up and personally I love the sound of both pianos and string. Great job!
My vote for this category is #
The art category is very difficult because it everyone has a different style. I really liked the 1st contestant their coloring and personally that is what I pictures Jason’s hair to look like. The 2nd entry, even though they are facing away from us I can tell exactly who is who. It’s really pretty. As for the 3rd entry wow your way of to create a comic version of the story is great! I actually would have loved to do that for the entire books but my drawing skills suck.
My vote for this category is #
As for the video entries they were great more than I can do for sure. The Legos was very creative and I have no idea how you were able to get them to move without seeing your fingers. Entry 2 was great as well, it reminded me of the first sketch animations in movies. Where they draw it in 2d first just see how the want they’re final projects to be. The first entry I loved your choice in music and out of everyone they actually told more of a summer of what the book was about which is nice for those here voting that have not yet read the books.
My vote for this category is #
Now for the other category I feel the same as entry 1 I really like Jennifer Neilsen’s books. This is my favorite trilogy that she has written. But I also love her stand alone. Just a great author. I’m not as expressive in my was of speaking but I feel the same as she does. Entry 2 well I love to play board games. Entry three was mind blowing. I wish I can create in 3d. It looks great!!

I love fanfic entry #1! So talented!
I think all these submissions are absolutely amazing and show how much of an impact Ms. Nielsen has made on all of us. Great job to everyone 🙂
I absolutely agree! 👏🏼
Yess!! Thank you so much, Mrs. Nielsen!
Original Song – #2 was gorgeous!! You are so inspiring, Jocelyn!
My absolute favorite entry was Kayleigh’s video!!! The candle was so beautiful and symbolic! So creative!
Thank you!
Great job Katie! Love the creativity!
Entry
Wow, all of these entries are amazing! I can see why the contest judges decided to have 20 finalists instead of 5. 🙂 Congratulations to all of you!
For the original song category, my vote goes to #_. The emotion and creativity in all of the entries is astounding. If I could vote for all of them, I would.
For the art category, all of these are incredible and far beyond what I can do, but my favorite has to be Katie’s. Her art complements Jennifer Nielsen’s writing perfectly! I can imagine her having a future career as a successful graphic novel artist.
For the fan fiction category, Minea’s writing perfectly replicated Jaron’s narration and told an excellent story.
For the video category, having tried to do stop motion animation before, I can see how much effort must have gone into Jenna’s entry!
For the other category, this was really hard, because all of the entries were impressive in totally different ways. If I hadn’t already read and loved the Ascendance Series, Ameerah’s video would have convinced me to pick it up and read it immediately. Rubi and Leticia’s board game version of Queen’s Cross is so thorough and totally represents the game as it was portrayed in the books. And Sarah and Joshua’s Minecraft version of Farthenwood (complete with secret passages!!) is so, so cool.
I’ll hold off on voting in the younger crowd category for a bit longer to see if entry 2 will be posted.
Again, congratulations to all of you, and thank you so much to Jennifer Nielsen for having this contest!
Thanks for your comment about our boardgames. It really made my day. Im glad that we were able to show how the game was played exactly like the book☺
It makes me SO happy to hear that what we intended came across. Thank you so much for the compliment!

Ben, Bella, Anne, Samantha were creative and fun.
I love art entry #1!
It is unique and eye-catching. The vivid colors and distinct lines expertly draw your attention to Jaron’s face, and attracts notice to the fact that his face is partially hidden. This creates an elusive air about the picture, making you wonder if more is going on than what is clearly visible, mimicking the clever way Mrs. Nielsen writes. Truly, this piece is rich with detail. Beautiful work! You are very inspiring, Nida💖💖
Wow! You honestly put words to all of the aspects I wanted express in my piece. Thanks!

ORIGINAL SONG:
Mayhlee’s artwork was so beautiful and deep. Her work shone among the rest, as she was willing to create a scene of sorrow, yet a scene of abounding hope. One of my favorite parts of the series! Jaron and his friends may come to a disaster, but since they can see the hope in the future so clearly they will never surrender. Love it, Mayhlee!

Sarah and Joshua did a great job on the minecraft farthenwood thingy! 🙂
SARAH AND JOSHUA spent so much work on it and they even included the secret networks by using the portraits in minecraft.
Sarah and Joshua’s Minecraft adaption of Farthenwood – I just like it. Although I am quite aware that many others put an enormous amount of effort in their works, but I, myself, would probably choose this one. Not to offend anyone’s works, of course.

You all did an awesome job!! I was blown away by every entry. How she picked I have no idea.
Original song- entry !!
I already voted, but I felt I should take the time to comment on all the entries 🙂
The original songs were all beautiful! The piano was passionately played and moving and the violin pieces looked amazing with dress up and scenery and everyting!
I can’t even describe how AMAZING the art entries were! Nida’s reminded me of some of the best anime cover art and just really did well with at opening scene of Runaway King, which was also the inspiration for my own entry. Lament was also a BEAUTIFUL piece of art, the colors, the silhouettes, just the….feeling it portrays was incredible. And Katie….just wow. I wish I could write a comic! It was such a fun away to see the story bounce to life.
The fan fictions did such a good job of staying true to characters we have come to know and love but writing in completely different styles! I attemped to write a poem summarizing this and didn’t even come close to the excellent writing these promising future authors showed. Good job Brooklyn, Valerie and Minea.
The videos were completely different it made it hard to pick one to vote for! The first video was a really well made book trailer and one of the few that told the story so even non-fans would be able to get a gist of what the books we love are about. The 2nd was basically an animation! I can’t only imagine the work it took to create that. And the lego movie just blew me away! I loved seeing our characters take the stage in lego form haha
The others were also very different. Ameerah was so well spoken and you could totally tell how much she loves these stories. I share her passion for Nielsen’s work and wish I could be as expressive. She has obviously made many projects inspired by Jaron and I applaud her for skills. The 2nd entry was my own in works with my sister. I won’t say much more about it except that just like everyone else’s it took a LOT of work and I am honestly pretty proud of it and enjoy playing. Even if I don’t get votes, i hope to see more feedback just to see if anyone else likes it 🙂 . As for Sarah and Joshua….wow! Nice work! a whole 3D mansion! Could you make my dream home in 3D?! 😀
The younger crowd were so cute! It’s sad one has yet to be posted, but the 1st one made me laugh with their portrayal of Conner and just how they summed up book one. The 3rd entry was simple but full of passion and you could tell how much she loves these books. For someone so young she seems to be really into reading which is a joy to see! Entry four made such a beautiful melody! And I wish I could see more of the scripts they wrote and other music….I’m very much interested. I also loved the music Kara composed to portray that prebattle scene in, I believe, book three. I found myself singing Jaron’s song with their melody and it just fit.
Congrats to all who’ve made it! Every entry was amazing in it’s own way and I wish you all the best of luck!
I LOVED the game! It definitely looks like something I would enjoy playing. And just the fact that you made it is mind blowing.
Thank you! Means a lot to us!😍
Yay! Thank you for your positive feedback. 😀

Nida! That is beautiful!!!
WOW, all of these are SUPER amazing!! Everyone is so talented, and you can tell how much they love The Ascendance Series. I love that we can all come together and show our love for these books. They’ve really changed my life as well.

I did like entry one a lot and it seemed like a good song for the closing of a movie of the trilogy.
I vote for entry # for art
These entries are all so amazing!
Music:
Ava and Abigail, I love the lyrics to your song, it really captures Sage’s emotions.
Jocelyn, The talent in both playing and composing in your song is incredible! It gave me goosebumps,(In a good way 😉
Elise and Sophie, I love the melodies and scenes in your song. The second and last themes are my favorite.
Art:
Nida, your drawing has such an incredible amount of detail! I can’t even imagine how long it took.
Mayhlee, your art is so amazing, I love the use of texture and color!
Katie, your entry is so creative in formatting and the cover is really cool.
Fanfiction:
Brooklyn, it’s so amazing that you managed to write that much! Especially if it’s all as good as that. My favorite part was: “Oh no, keep me up here. I do so love the view. Gives me a new perspective on life.” It’s hilarious and I can totally imagine Jaron saying that!
Valerie, the emotions in your story are amazing! I also thought about what Sage/Jaron must have felt when he found the poison, but I never could have written it as well as this.
Minea, your story literally had me on the edge of my seat. It was so exciting and marvelously written!
Kayleigh, this trailer is so cool! I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into it.
Katie, I love this animation, it’s so much fun! You did a really good job animating all the characters.
Jenna, Amazing work! I really like the way you showed all the major events. I can’t imagine how long it must have taken to film all this. I love the part where Sage rolls the coin over his hand. It looks so natural!
Other:
Ameerah, your enthusiasm is so contagious!
Rubi and Leticia, awesome job on the game, it looks like a lot of fun!
Sarah and Joshua, Wow. Just wow. That’s incredible! I love the way you made the secret passageways.

Bonnie, awesome job on the costumes, acting, props, and editing! Really cool!
Olivia, I can tell how much you love this series, great job.
Ben, Bella, Anne, Samantha, I love this composition! I can only imagine how cool it would sound in real life! The tune is really catchy and memorable.
Kara, I love both the composition and the video. That tune fits the song so perfectly, both in rhythm and mood.

I was able to finish all the entries now and i really enjoyed the fan fiction. All three managed to keep the general essience of Jarons character. Entry 1 was a fun read. Entry 2 I really enjoyed that you picked a scene where he reveals how he found out about the poison but in more detail. I loved how you mixed the detail that Jennifer had decribed yet made a deleted scene. Entry 3 was also very well put together and got really intense at the end when Jaron was trying to save his life.
my vote for fan fic is #
The young cateory was interesting and very enjoyable. Entry 1 I give you props to act. I am extremely shy and would never dream of doing such a thing. Great Job. I really liked the portrail of Conner. Entry 3 I enjoyed to see how much people love the same books that i enjoy reading. Entry four i really liked your composition i was very impressed. And entry 5 Your words mad the music have much more meaning to the scene you were going for. Great job everybody!!!

I read through all of the fanfiction entries and I’m just blown away! They were all amazing, but entry # has to take the cake, I’d like to vote for !
Fanfiction #!
Katie (Video) 🙂 love you katie! very talented!
Oh. My. Goodness.
I cannot properly convey how much I love every single one of these entries. The dedication and love towards the Ascendance Trilogy (well, now Series) clearly shines through each one and I feel so honoured to be a part of such a creative, resourceful, and talented community!
Original Song: Entry
Ava and Abigail, the pacing and wording of your narration was amazing and the song itself was utterly beautiful. I love how powerfully Jocelyn’s piece captures the scene between Sage and Mott; I don’t know much about music, but I enjoyed the way the notes flowed in tandem with the mood and themes presented in this scene, as well as how it gave me goosebumps! Elise and Sophie’s themes were lovely and moving—the themes paired with the appearances of Imogen and Amarinda truly created a serene piece.
Art:
I have so much respect for both of the entries submitted alongside mine! Mayhlee, your style is soft and simultaneously textured, and it fits perfectly with your colour pallette and symbolism. I am honestly so impressed with the organization of Katie’s comic strip too and how she uses it to expertly capture Sage’s witty personality in the first scene we meet our main character.
Fanfiction: Entry
I love how Brooklyn’s writing displays the three boys and their unique relationships with one another through a captivating adventure. I remember chuckling while reading this entry, thinking, “Just another interesting day with Jaron, Roden, and Tobias!” Valerie, the pacing and descriptions of your writing is amazing, the expression of Jaron’s anguish and then resolve very evocative. Minea, I commend your plot development, as well as your ability to understand the characters reactions to the events around them and explain their thoughts concisely. Honestly, whatever entry I vote for, please know that I think you all are brilliant writers and would totally read your books one day!
Video: Entry
These videos were so entertaining! Kayleigh, your trailer is suspenseful and the visuals are so good at illustrating the components of the books! I love Katie’s gray-scale art style and how her video relates the song that inspired Mrs. Nielsen to create Sage to the entire series. I can’t imagine how much time went into making Jenna’s piece; using legos to design the settings and details and character expressions and gestures is ingenious!
Other: Entry
Ameerah’s story was so relatable and it took me back to the fond memories of reading the Ascendance Trilogy for the first time myself.
Rubi and Leticia, your board game looks so fun and I value the attention and detail you put into the board, pieces, and cards. Sarah and Joshua, as someone who understands how much effort goes into creating in Minecraft, I was so pleased to see how accurately and resourcefully you created the one and only Farthenwood!
Younger Crowd: Entry
The younger crowd is a very talented bunch! The acting, costumes, and props were well planned and perfect in Bonnie’s trailer. I love how genuine and open Olivia is in her video—I can’t wait for The Captive Kingdom too! “Sage/Jaron’s Theme” by Ben, Bella, Anne, and Samantha was a joy to listen to as well. It really captures Jaron’s personality and I easily pictured him with your piece rolling in the background of my mind. Kara, your video expertly picks up the raw fear and mustered courage and unity depicted in the war of the Shadow Throne, and I was so touched by the captions and the Carthyan anthem.
Great job and thank you to all participants! Here is to all your lovely entries and the continuation of the Ascendance Series! 😀
👏👏👏
