Anywhere, I suppose. Maybe a word processor, or HTML editor.

Yes. Last year when this contest came up, I wanted to participate (although last year, weren't they actively looking for someone to join the review team?). School, however, got in the way. Now that I'm a graduate student, though, and things not yet being crazy, it'd be fun to submit an entry.

Chris, if we already write reviews for other sites, may be still participate? If yes, then do we have to write up a new review just for this contest or are we allowed to post that review up on our other site?

Actually, no need for a template. Just look at the structure of most of the reviews we've posted. 99% of them use the same style and layout. You don't have to go by it 100%.

Also, yes... We are kinda recruiting for a couple to add to the review staff.

As for previously published work, I would have to say no. There is a chance that some of the submitted reviews will be published at Aximsite and I do not want to worry about irritating other webmasters in this community.

I have an honest question. What is the likelihood that a negative review of a product will win? There is a great deal of bias on almost all sites against negative reviews. Some places just don't like the negative tone, others think it scares away advertisers, some places don't want their online buddies feelings hurt, and so on. The geenral perspective is, "If we cannot say anything nice, lets not say anything at all".

So I want to ask honestly and hope I get an honest response, can you write a review that trashes a product and win this contest?

Chris,

Just to make sure, when you say a product that has not been reviewed, do you mean a product that does not show up on a search on this page in Staff Reviews:

http://www.aximsite.com/articles/ind...laycat&catid=3

(Resources | Reviews || Staff Reviews)

So we can pick an Axim related product (software or hardware), search that site, and if it does not come up, it qualifies for a contest review?

:cheers:
Dobermann

I would say that It is a good thing for consumers(albeit bad for advertisers and the site runners becaue they need moola to operate). Will you win, I doubt it with a negative article. I wish you could but I think it is just politics.
