🎬大赛鼓励评论电影、音乐、游戏等非书籍内容，拓宽创作范围，让参赛者有机会探讨更多元的话题。

📈参赛者可以评论产品、餐厅、旅游景点等实际事物，或深入探讨抽象概念如爱情、死亡、数学证明等，展现独特的视角和深度。

🔍评审过程采用匿名方式，参赛者需在Google文档中匿名撰写评论，通过Google表单提交，确保评审公正，避免身份偏见。

📝虽然没有官方字数限制，但建议参考往届获奖作品（如作者的个人书评），了解大致风格和篇幅，以提升作品质量。

I enjoy the yearly book review contest, but it feels like last year’s contest is barely done, and I want to give you a break so you can read more books before we start over. So this year, let’s do something different. Submit an ACX-length post reviewing something, anything, except a book.

You can review a movie, song, or video game. You can review a product, restaurant, or tourist attraction. But don’t let the usual categories limit you. Review comic books or blog posts. Review political parties - no, whole societies! Review animals or trees! Review an oddly-shaped pebble, or a passing cloud! Review abstract concepts! Mathematical proofs! Review love, death, or God Himself!

(please don’t review human races, I don’t need any more NYT articles)

Otherwise, the usual rules apply. There’s no official word count requirement, but previous finalists and winners were often between 2,000 and 10,000 words. There’s no official recommended style, but check the style of last year’s finalists and winners or my ACX book reviews (1, 2, 3) if you need inspiration. Please limit yourself to one entry per person or team.

Then send me your review through this Google Form. The form will ask for your name, email, the thing you’re reviewing, and a link to a Google Doc. The Google Doc should have your review exactly as you want me to post it if you’re a finalist. DON’T INCLUDE YOUR NAME OR ANY HINT ABOUT YOUR IDENTITY IN THE GOOGLE DOC ITSELF, ONLY IN THE FORM. I want to make this contest as blinded as possible, so I’m going to hide that column in the form immediately and try to judge your docs on their merit.
