Review Month Review Contest
Hi folks it's your neighborhood reviewing raccoon ReviewBuddy! For Review Month I thought it'd be fun to have a Reviewing Contest!
I will be having some help from my friends over at the Better Review Bureau with judging and sponsoring the prizes, so be sure to check that club out if you haven't yet.
Here will be the rules!
Who may enter?
You can! All YWS members and/or raccoons who are reviewing this September can submit one review in each category (Poetry and Prose) for entry.
The review needs to have been written in September.
How is the review being judged?
While review month prompts many people to focus on the quantity of their reviews, the quality is what's being judged here! Note that the "best" review won't necessarily be the longest or the most critical. And although grammar critiques can be helpful in some circumstances - this contest will not be factoring grammar into our decision.
Here is what we will be considering:
Tone
Is the review respectful of the author and work? Do they include praise along with criticism.
Depth
Does the review go beyond grammar and one-liner "nitpicks"? Does the review comment on plot or meaning?
Suggestions
Does the reviewer provide specific examples of where the work might be improved? Are there resources or specific suggestions given along with justifications?
Do I have any tips for reviewing?
They don't call me "ReviewBuddy" for nothing!
Here's some ideas of what you might cover in a review if you're stuck:
Spoiler! :
What are the fabulous prizes?
1st Place - 700 points
2nd Place - 500 points
3rd Place - 300 points
Plus everyone who participates in the contest will receive a bit of feedback on their review if they desire.
When is the deadline?
The deadline is September 30th and you can expect results to be posted here sometime in the first week of October - feedback will be delivered by the end of October.
