12月，我们邀请青少年扮演评论家，并为我们的第六届年度学生评论大赛提交关于《纽约时报》报道的任何创意表达的原创评论。我们收到了 4，100 多份参赛作品——几乎是前一年的两倍——我们的评委选出了 11 名获奖者、17 名亚军和 28 名荣誉奖。
我们的决赛入围者批评了从“布里杰顿”到“曼达洛人”的所有内容;拉赫玛尼诺夫到一张新的超流行专辑;玛丽·奥利弗诗集的《懦弱孩子的日记》;河粉餐厅到烹饪课;变焦不可或缺的耳机;等等。
您可以阅读下面的 11 个获奖作品。所有这些评论都令人愉悦，它们还有其他一些共同点：他们表达了强烈的意见，并以有趣和相关的细节来支持他们;他们为读者提供作品的背景并将其置于上下文中;他们以创造性地使用语言、风格和语气而脱颖而出。
恭喜我们所有的决赛入围者，并感谢所有参与的人！如果你喜欢这个比赛，不要忘记我们正在进行的编辑比赛，以及我们即将举行的播客和夏季阅读比赛。
