Best Reviewer


October 6, 2009 - February 13, 2010


Now Accepting Submissions

Details

So many people are complaining about not getting enough reviews. There's a lot of great writing on this site, but not writing is so great that it couldn't use feedback. I'm proposing a contest to see who can write the most helpful, insightful reviews.
It goes without saying that you are NOT to write purely complimentary reviews - or purely derogatory, for that matter - I expect there to be at least some criticism in there, and the more the better.
You can enter up to five reviews but they must have been written AFTER the contest started. I realize there's no way I can check whether you wrote them after you read this, but I'm going to put my faith in you lot.
To enter your reviews, stick the links and preferably also the reviews themselves into a file and submit that.

Reviews of people who are Top Reviewers (that is to say those who have given over a hundred reviews and have an average review rating of over 95%) will be given special consideration in the judging. So if you're close, or even far, to that milestone just keep reviewing until you get there : )

PS Reviews of my work will automatically be excluded from the contest, so don't bother sending them but feel free to review me so if you're in the spirit : ) it's just so no one can say I'm not impartial.

If you think there's anything I've forgotten, or anything in here that's not clear, then feel free to drop me a line and ask.
Best of luck, and bon critique!

EDIT: I feel I should clarify, I will be electing winners not by individual reviews, but by overall who has written the best set of reviews. It will count in your favour if you submit four or five, but if you have only two or three really stellar examples then do not pad your set out with bad ones because I will judge that much more harshly than if you only submit two.
