JUDGING
〰️Voting is open to all Legendfirians! Every contestant is REQUIRED to vote.〰️Unless excused for serious reasons, each contestant must vote on all entries. You will receive reminders of this requirement 1 week, 3 days, and 1 day prior to the end of the voting period. If you do not vote on ALL entries, your entry will be disqualified.
〰️You may vote for yourself to maintain your anonymity. This vote will not count toward your final score.
〰️All entries must have the same number of votes for each vote to count. For example, if over half the entries receive 7 votes, we will set the final vote requirement to 7 votes per entry.
Points for voting:
1. Critique each entry according to the following questions. Answer them as thoroughly as possible. Two sentences minimum per question. See the Resources below if you need help critiquing.
*Technical Writing Elements: Which elements were technically sound in this entry? What still needs work? Consider story structure, SPaG, pacing, etc.
*Artistic writing elements: What appealed to me in this entry? What might benefit from revision? (Consider things like appropriate word choice, metaphor, imagery, uniqueness, etc.)
*Theme: How good was the implementation of the theme? How effective was the usage of the theme at drawing you into the story?
3. Add your scores you allotted to each area and divide by 3 to get an average score. For example: 3.5 + 3 + 4 = 3.5 (The contest host will collect all the averaged scores for each entry and tally the overall average to determine the winners.)
