Last Reviewer Standing Contest


Image

Welcome



Over the last several months, the Green Room has gotten filled with works that need reviews so some of your reviewing friends have formed an idea to get reviews to those works in need. You've heard of the Last Man Standing (writing contest) and the Last Ship Sailing (roleplay contest) this is a new iteration ~ the Last REVIEWER Standing contest! @ReviewBuddy, @MailicedeNamedy, @HarryHardy, & @alliyah will be your hosts for this challenge.

Here's the premise: Beginning with one review a week, each week you will be challenged to meet the week's "Review Challenge" leaving a log of your reviews. The twist is that each week the Review Challenge number doubles - so week two will be two reviews, week three will be four reviews and so on and so on. If you can't meet the Review Challenge and log that number of reviews by Monday (11 pm EST) you will be eliminated from the contest, until there is only one reviewer left standing. This is a great challenge to work up to reviewing more, and start the year reviewing strong.

Instructions to Participate


In order to participate please follow the list below:

1) Declare your intent to enter Round 1 in this thread.

2) At the end of week one post a link in this thread to 1 review that you have completed. (Reviewers are highly encouraged to do Green Room Reviews, but it is not required).

3) For each subsequent round you will have to submit a new numbered log of reviews completed, and each week the number of reviews doubles. If you are unable to do the number of reviews you will be out of the contest until there is one reviewer left standing. Each week the participants that are still "in" will be tagged with their new review target, and will be reminded roughly 24 hours before their next round of reviews must be in.

4) If in later rounds, neither reviewer is able to complete the number of reviews then whoever completed the most in that week's time will be the winner.

5) There's a slight cost to enter this contest to keep people motivated to actually participate - to pay your entrance fee, send 100 points to ReviewBuddy

Any questions can be directed to your hosts @MailicedeNamedy, @HarryHardy, @alliyah or @ReviewBuddy.

Additional Rules
> Spam Reviews will not count toward this contest: that includes copy-paste reviewing, using reviews with 90% template + 10% content, re-using reviews, or writing reviews that are not specific to the work. For more information: Avoiding Review Spam.

> Reviews that aren't logged (ie. linked & numbered) in this thread will not be counted. Reviews that aren't written within the week of the challenge also do not count, so you can't write reviews in advance for the upcoming week.

> The hosts of this contest enjoy reviewing, but in the event that one of us wins the contest, the badge will be shared with the next highest reviewer and the points will not go to the host.

Winners & Prizes



Each participant of "Last Review Standing" will recieve a participant's badge for your efforts. You must log at least one review to be counted as a participant. There are also exciting prizes for those who win!

Third Place 750 points, bird doodle, Special Badge

I'm planning to try reviewing and writing and quit Randomosity for the month of March just because it is taken over my life a little too much so this could help keep me motivated.
