3. Keep it relative to the competition While you should try to remain objective, remember you are comparing each piece to the others in the competition, not Ernest Hemmingway's best works! 4. Find positive points It's better to find positive points before the negative.

2. Take your time There's no rush. Really try to understand each piece before dismissing it or moving onto the next entry.
