To kick off the New Year, Review Fuse is offering a free writing contest to our members. The winner will be awarded a $50 Amazon.com gift card. In order to qualify for this contest you must have:

• Joined Review Fuse on or before January 5, 2009.
• Submitted at least 2 works for review any time before January 5, 2009.
• Completed all of your assigned reviews by January 15, 2009.

To enter the contest, write a critique of Review Fuse following these guidelines:

1. Include your overall thoughts and impressions about Review Fuse.
2. Talk about what you like most about the site.
3. Most importantly, tell us what needs the most improvement at Review Fuse? What areas are we lacking in? Which pages are hard to use?
4. Your critique must be posted on your blog and the link to your critique emailed to contest@reviewfuse.com by January 17, 2009 with the subject line: Review Fuse Review. If you don’t have a blog, don’t fret. You can easily start one and it’s a great way to practice your writing. We suggest Blogger or Wordpress.

The winner of the contest will be determined by the following:

• Was this review helpful to the Review Fuse Team?
• Was the review phrased in a constructive manner?
• Did the reviewer provide sufficient detail to justify their review?
• Did the reviewer provide new ideas or insights to the website?
• Did the reviewer explain their ideas and critiques in a manner that is easy to understand?

We are not looking for endless praise, although some wouldn’t hurt. We are primarily looking for ways to improve the website. There are just a few days before this contest starts, if you join Review Fuse now you can still qualify.
