本文介绍了2022年书籍评论竞赛的规则和奖励。竞赛鼓励参赛者撰写高质量的书籍评论，并提供丰厚的奖金和宣传机会。参赛者需要通过谷歌表格提交作品，并确保谷歌文档的权限设置为“任何人可查看”。

🤔 竞赛规则： - 参赛者需撰写一篇书籍评论，字数没有严格要求，但去年决赛入围者和获奖者通常在2,000到10,000字之间。 - 评论风格没有强制要求，但可以参考去年的决赛入围者和获奖作品，或作者自己的ACX书籍评论。 - 每个人或团队只能提交一篇作品。 - 提交作品时，请通过谷歌表格提供个人姓名、电子邮件地址、书籍标题和指向谷歌文档的链接。 - 谷歌文档中应包含您希望发布的评论，请勿在文档中包含您的姓名或任何关于您身份的提示，仅在表格中提供这些信息。 - 为了确保评审的公平性，作者会在提交后立即隐藏表格中的姓名栏目，并根据作品的质量进行评审。 - 请确保您的谷歌文档是解锁的，并且我可以阅读。默认情况下，只有作者可以阅读谷歌文档。您需要点击“共享”，然后在弹出的窗口底部点击“限制”，并将其更改为“任何人可查看”。如果您发送的文档我无法阅读，我可能会取消您的资格，抱歉。

🏆 奖项设置： - 一等奖至少获得$2,500，二等奖至少获得$1,000，三等奖至少获得$500；奖金可能会在之后增加。 - 所有获奖者和决赛入围者将获得免费宣传（包括指向您希望我链接的任何其他作品的链接）和免费的ACX订阅。 - 所有获奖者将获得向我推荐新文章的权利（但没有人会接受我的提议）。

📅 截止日期： - 提交作品的截止日期是4月5日。 - 如果您有任何疑问，请在评论区提出。 - 提交作品的表格链接：https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/book-review-contest-rules-2022

Okay, we’re officially doing this again.

Write a review of a book. There’s no official word count requirement, but last year’s 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 title of the book, 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.

(does this mean you can’t say something like “This book about war reminded me of my own experiences as a soldier” because that gives a hint about your identity? My rule of thumb is - if I don’t know who you are, and the average ACX reader doesn’t know who you are, you’re fine. I just want to prevent my friends / other judges’ friends / Internet semi-famous people from having an advantage. If you’re in one of those categories and think your personal experience would give it away, please don’t write about your personal experience.)

PLEASE MAKE SURE THE GOOGLE DOC IS UNLOCKED AND I CAN READ IT. By default, nobody can read Google Docs except the original author. You’ll have to go to Share, then on the bottom of the popup click on “Restricted” and change to “Anyone with the link”. If you send me a document I can’t read, I will probably disqualify you, sorry.

First prize will get at least $2,500, second prize at least $1,000, third prize at least $500; I might increase these numbers later on. All winners and finalists will get free publicity (including links to any other works you want me to link to) and free ACX subscriptions. And all winners will get the right to pitch me new articles if they want (nobody ever takes me up on this).

Your due date is April 5th. Good luck! If you have any questions, ask them in the comments. And remember, the form for submitting entries is here.
