Responding to points raised in both previous posts on this topic:
We're pleased that the Mystery Reviewer Critique articles are useful; not just to the photographer of each particular image, but as a more general learning resource - that was our main intention when we introduced them.
We're not able to provide a personal email notification to every photographer who is mentioned in a Mystery Reviewer Critique article; we cannot automate this process, and it would be too time-consuming for our volunteers to process manually.
Mystery Reviewer Critiques used to appear in our newsletters as they became available, and we assume that interested members - particularly those who enter our competitions - would read these as they became available. When we ceased publication of our newsletter early this year, we instead chose to tell our members about these articles when they became available via an e-News announcement; there was one for the critiques from the "Best of 2019" competition in March (if I remember correctly); there will be another in the next few days for the "Finches and Chats" competition.
Until this year, we've often had quite long delays between a competition and all MR reviews for that competition; this year, we are aiming to provide the MR reviews shortly after each competition ends. This happened for the "Best of 2019" competition, and will happen for the "Finches and Chats" competition within the next day or so. We're also going to put a summary of the MR ratings in an item on the Home page - the first of these will also appear in the next day or so. The complete articles will only be accessible to members within the first two years of their publication (as was the case when they were published in our Newsletters); you'll need to be logged in to the website to see those articles.
For the benefit of those who aren't aware of these critiques, they are available on the
Resources - Mystery Reviewer Critiques page.
