This November, we will launch the?HubPages Rigorous Review Contest, an autumnal?competition?centered around the use of our Ratings Capsule, which adds a star rating to Hubs reviewing?products, places, and services (you can choose whether the star rating is that of your own or the collective rating of your readers).
The contest boasts over 60 prizes, including:
- $700 in $25 Daily Drawing Prizes awarded to one randomly selected review entry every day of the contest
- $700 in $25 Weekly Prizes awarded to the seven best review Hubs each week
- $50 Best Product Review Prize for the best product review
- $50 Best Service Review Prize for the best service review
- $50 Best Restaurant Review Prize for the best restaurant review
- $50 Best Place Review Prize for the best place review
- $200 Grand Prize for the best overall review
And comes right in time for holiday shopping season, so as you research various products and gifts for your friends, colleagues, and family, consider writing reviews of them using the Ratings Capsule!
