Two finalists in each category – one under 14, and one 14-18-year-old – will win a £25 National Book Token, a Guardian young arts critic certificate, and have their review published on guardian.co.uk.

One overall winner – the most talented, promising critic – will attend an event with the relevant Guardian critic and write about it for G2. We can cover travel expenses, though we will aim to find an event in your area. If you are under 18, you will need to have a parent or guardian attend this event with you.
