Will I get to read my reviews?

As a Contestant or member of a Team, you WILL be given the opportunity to read the reviews that your screenplay receives from other Contestants and/or Reviewers. Whether you read them or not, is entirely UP TO YOU. The reviews will be sent to your home page anonymously and you will only be able to read them after you find out that your screenplay did not advance to the next round. Hopefully, however, you'll win the contest and have to wait until the very END to read your reviews!

As a Reviewer or Contestant reviewing screenplays, will the submitting Contestant(s) be able to read my review(s)?
Yes, see above. The reviews you submit will be sent anonymously to the submitting Contestant's homepage as soon as they find out they did not advance to the next round. Whether they read them or not, is entirely up to them. As stated in the Official Rules, please be honest, fair and "civil" with your reviews, as they WILL be a factor in your continued participation in the contest.

What if I don't like the reviews that I receive?
As noted earlier, everyone always has a different opinion about everything and you may not always agree with what someone has to say about your screenplay. Thankfully, however, your mother will always think it's the "best screenplay in the whole wide world!" Seriously, try to remember, this is a subjective process. Try to keep an open mind. Who knows, some constructive criticism that you get on your screenplay just might be the thing that causes you to change it and make it even better.

But, what if another Contestant blatantly "trashes" my screenplay in their review?
As a Contestant, one of the determinants for advancing to later rounds is how fairly you have reviewed your peers. If it is obvious that a Contestant or Reviewer has done nothing but "slam", "trash" or "submarine" every screenplay that comes their way (especially with profanity or personal attacks), the reviewing party (or entire team, if applicable) will be eliminated from the contest. Gang, this is meant to be fun. So, please grow up and read our message about "sportsmanship" here.
