Guidelines for Submitting Reviews

The length of your review should be determined by what you want to say. Keep it simple, to the point, but provide enough information to convey your thoughts. We find the best reviews clearly state whether you liked or disliked; these reviews spend more time on the why. Try to be specific as with details; this makes your review memorable. Our best, most successful reviews capture that elusive sense of the arts experience, and as such provides credibility for the reader who probably does not know you.

A) Write in your own your voice: Try to write the words exactly as they would come from your mouth in a conversation. There should be little difference in your written words versus what you would say verbally, so write the words as you would say them to a friend!

B) Provide details: Those new to writing reviews often write, "This place is great." Do not feel bad if this is you, but remember, emotional judgments are helpful and insightful, but keep in mind the reader next wants to know why it is “Great”. So remember to mention a few of the items that you remember, and make you notice the “greatness”.

C) About negative reviews: Remember to leave out any person’s name in a negative review. It is completely inappropriate and potentially slanderous to trash any particular person by name or description along with the arts event you are reviewing. If you had a negative experience, and one particular staff member contributed to this negative experience, do not include such information that could be used to identify that person personally. It is far better to say the management, staff, etc.

Above all, in reviews:

• Be polite, honest, and at all times be fair.
• Always avoid mean, harsh or derogatory language and racial or sexual slurs.
• Absolutely no hate-speech, profanity, harassment, vulgarity or overly sexually explicit language or terminology may be included.
• Refrain from including commercial messages or advertising material.
• Do not include anyone’s copyrighted material without the owner's specific written permission.
• Do not include phone numbers, mailing addresses, URLs to other websites.

Reviews will be listed or unlisted at the discretion of the site staff. Please allow up to 72 hours for your review to be accepted and posted to the the event.
