How the AV Entertainment Reviewer Program and Portal Works
Becoming an AV Entertainment Reviewer
The AV reviewer program and portal allows television and film reviewers to request review copies of newly released DVDs and Blu-rays. Reviewers need to register with us before gaining access to the system.
- You can request access by emailing reviewcopies@alliedvaughn.com. Please include your name, email address, the name and URL of the publication you write for, along with current monthly readership/viewership information about your audience. Once approved you’ll be sent an email link to gain access to the portal. You’ll need to click on the link in the email and complete your registration.
Ordering via the portal is easy
With access to the system, you can browse our catalog of “review copy eligible” titles and add them to your cart up to your monthly allotment. The titles can be found under the tab “Browse All Titles”.
- The titles update every month as newer releases come out. Once you have added titles to your cart, you will be able to checkout and place your order.
- You will receive an email confirmation of your order and another email when your order has shipped. You will also be able to view your order history and track your orders from your account page.
Link to Reviews
Our review program is supported by our studio partners and is accountable to them.
- For every review copy ordered, we require a review of the title to be published in your blog, website, YouTube channel, etc. We also need you to provide us with a link to your review on our website. You can do this by clicking the "My Dashboard" tab in the navigation bar and going to the "Reviews" section.
- You can find the title you are reviewing in the "Unreviewed Titles" section of the My Dashboard tab and click the "Review" button. You will then be able to enter the URL of your review. Once you have done this, the title will be moved to the "Reviewed Titles" section.
Monthly allotment
Your monthly allotment of review copies can be found under the "My Dashboard" tab will be reset on the first day of each month.
- For example, if you have an allotment of 5 review copies per month and you have 3 outstanding reviews, you will only be able to order 2 review copies next month. So get those reviews in! We provide these links to the studios. It’s a crucial component of being a part of our reviewer program.
If you have any questions, issues, or ideas for improvement, please email blair.zykan@alliedvaughn.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We value our community of reviewers and appreciate you being a part of the physical media community!
