       The judges' rubric  for the Royal Palm Literary Award:
       1-Setting: How well does the setting fit with the story? How
       well does it portray mood, time and place? How does it show
       imagination?
       2-Characters: How well rounded are the characters? Can
       readers/viewers connect readily with them? Is the main character
       strong and easy to identify with? How consistent is the
       character's action with stated experience?
       3-Plot: How clear is the plot? Is the main character’s
       motivation sufficient to sustain the story? Does the plot follow
       throughout the story?
       4-Flow: How logical is the flow of the story? How appropriate is
       the pacing? How plausible is the story?
       5-Dialogue: How appropriate is each character’s dialogue to that
       character? Does the dialogue balance well with the action? How
       well does the dialogue move the story along?
       6-Creativity: How creative/original is the story?
       7-Mechanics: Is the manuscript easy to read, in the correct
       format, and free of typing errors?
       8-Genre: Was this manuscript submitted in the correct genre? If
       not, what genre should have been used?
       9-Overall Impression: Would you like to read more work from this
       author?
