Here it is folks! This is what you'll be judged on. To specify how the results are going to work, there will be two cuts. The first one will eliminate half of the books in the genre, and then the remaining half will be rejudged with a more in depth criteria. The timeline is moving up so please also go check that out!

Both of the contestants scores will be added up, from each wave, and from those, the winners be named!

For now we'll give you the first cut judging criteria, and the second one after that cut is made.

Judging criteria:
Everything but poetry/short story
5 for cover
5 for description
5 for following required accounts
10 for grammar
10 for Character development
15 for plot

Poetry/Short Story:
5 for cover
5 for description
5 for following required accounts
10 for grammar
10 for flow of the story/poetry
15 for whether or not it's really trying to communicate a story

(If you already judged some books with the other criteria that's fine.)

50 points up for grabs total in the first round!

Judges do not start judging until we've sent a pm telling you which books you're in charge of judging. Thank you! When we do, pm this account with each entry separate in the following format:

EXAMPLE:
Book: The Enigma of Hermione Granger
Author: weasleyqueen-
Judge: your user
Genre: Fanfiction
Cover: 3/5
Description: 2/5
Following: 5/5
Grammar: 1/10
Character Development: 0/10
Plot: -1/20 (please don't give any negatives)
Total: 5/50
Three sentence review: It was not eye catching at all. You need to work on your grammar a lot and the general flow of the story seemed to be broken up. Also you should focus more on developing your characters so the reader can relate.

And that's it! Obviously you won't be giving negatives, but please be honest and put effort into your feedback so it can help the writer to improve! Please email your results together to theleopardawards@gmail.com thank you!
