* Word limit: 750 words

* Monthly deadlines are listed in each of the category posts.

* You can nominate your own review or someone else's review.

* Reviews nominated for specific categories (fiction, nonfiction, etc.) must be for the book in question. Reviews nominated for the open-ended categories can be for any book listed on Goodreads.

* For consideration, reviews must be nominated by a posting in the contest group that includes the text of the review and a link to the review on Goodreads.

*Reviews will be judged by member popularity (number of votes on each review) and by the Goodreads staff. We will be looking for originality, clarity, content, and humor.

* Reviews do not need to be favorable in order to be considered -- unfavorable reviews will be judged equally.

* The winners will receive a $20 gift certificate to Amazon.com.

* Each review must contain only original content posted on Goodreads. Please do not paste your reviews previously posted on Amazon or other sites.
