Once you register for reVIEWyou, you will recieve a confirmation email with instructions on next steps and a link to create your reVIEWyou online profile. In the profile, you will be providing a short bio and answering general questions about your faith, experience and expectations. You will also be required to provide a Pastoral Endorsement. (Don’t let this scare you. All we are looking for is someone in your life, preferably a pastor or spiritual leader, who can vouch for your spiritual walk.) Finally you will submit your video entries on the profile. Each video entry is to be stripped down, simple and shot live. The purpose of this is to put everyone on an even playing field and help the judges make fair assesments. See below for category specific details.
