Want to Become a Member?

Welcome to the 2020 Application Period for the Online Film Critics Society. Applications will be reviewed beginning in March. Please make sure you've read through the Article III. Membership section of our bylaws before applying. Because of the number of applications submitted each year, the following questions have been designed to hit all of our quantitative requirements and ensure accuracy in processing. Submitting false information can result in a ban from the application process. If you submit a ballot that is honest, but confirms that you do not meet our basic requirements for membership, your application will be rejected without comment and you will have to reapply in 2021. If you make a mistake and are rejected within the current application period, you may request reconsideration by e-mail once you receive your rejection letter. Membership in the Online Film Critics Society is merit-based and is available only to critics who write primarily for the internet. Critics whose work appears in newspapers or magazines and is simply reprinted on the publication's website are not eligible.
