Any writing award is a good thing, and so the Watty is fabulous--congrats. You also have an arguable fan base, and I'm jealous!

Novella's are rarely queried. Short stories go to anthologies and magazines, by and large.

My answer is two-fold. One is to compile a list of agents who would represent novellas. My guess is that this list will be so short that querying them might take you a few days at most. I suggest being honest in those queries, with the knowledge that no matter how you query this project the odds are against you (and most of us!) Two is to write a novel--either based on this novella (but distinct enough that it is recognizably different) or something new, and novel length. When you query that, be sure to mention the Watty.
