Here is the scoresheet for judges:

Cover and title: /5
Summary: /5
Opening Hook: /5
Characters: /10
Descriptions: /10
Grammar: /5
Flow: /10
Total: /50

You'll be reading the first five chapters of each book (prologues included, unless they're really short) and ranking them based on those scores. Highest overall score wins.

For poetry, it's slightly different. Scores are as follows:

Cover and title of collection: /5
Titles of poems: /5
Structure: /5
Language: /10
Message: /10
Flow: /10
Total: /30

Or if you're more experienced with poetry (unlike me) then feel free to improve the scoring and do it a different way.

You'll read the first five poems, and score them overall as a collection.

Are we cool? Cool.

If you have any questions, pop them here. I'll reply soon. Hopefully.

Little heads up: for the first and second place, you'll need to create a review based on those scores. It doesn't have to go particularly in depth - just say why you gave those scores, and anything they might need to improve on.

However, I will follow all judges, and so will all participants of your genre.

Thanks! Enjoy your judging.
