The Seattle Film Critics Society (SFCS) continues to seek to expand and diversify our membership and we are always excited to have new Seattle-area critics join our ranks. 

Qualifications

To be considered for membership in the SFCS, you should be a working film critic who:

  • Resides in or screens movies in the greater Seattle area
  • Writes, broadcasts, or podcasts/streams reviews that express an opinion regarding a film’s quality on artistic and technical merits, while adhering to professional editing and grammatical standards.
  • Publishes reviews within a timely manner of a film’s release
  • Reviews at least 25 current feature-length motion pictures per year (January 1 – December 31)

These are some, but not all, considerations for prospective new members.

Applicants are encouraged to read and be familiar with the By-Laws, and all requirements for membership, prior to applying.

How do I apply?

The annual application window runs from April 1 – June 30th.
