Adult Juror Manual
Evaluation Process
- Filmmakers or PR teams submit their titles to KIDS FIRST! for evaluation. We do not randomly select films to evaluate and review.
- KIDS FIRST then contacts our active Jurors by email to offer an assignment to review a film.
- We generally ask for a 3 to 4 day turn around on reviews. If you need additional time, let us know.
- We will either send you to a live screening or give you access to an online screener where you can watch the film.
- You will either write a review free form or, use one of our online evaluation forms. Note: for film festival entries we usually use the online evaluation form.
- All online forms are available at http://www.kidsfirst.org/juror.
- Your evaluation will be combined with those from other jurors and a summary will be uploaded to our website and promoted on our blog and social media. Note that rejected titles do not appear on the KIDS FIRST! website.
- Our reviews are also carried by our syndicated network of publishing partners and culminatively reach an audience of 4 to 7 million per week.
