Contest Details

Do you like sharing your opinion with others? Do you have strong reactions to books, movies, restaurants or fashion? Are you a foodie or a gamer? A music buff or a theater aficionado?

If so, this contest is for you. They invite you to play critic and write an original review for our Ninth Annual Student Review Contest.

What can you choose to review? Anything that fits into a category of creative expression that The New York Times covers from architecture to music.

And new this year: Whatever you choose to review must have debuted in2023. That means not that you watched a movie, read a book or heard an album for the first time this year, but that the work premiered in 2023.
