      New York Film Critics Online (NYFCO) is an organization composed of 33 top online film critics in New York City. It has a rich mix of reviewers who have carved out original, innovative spaces on the internet for critical illumination. The group votes in December for its annual film awards. 
 
      We currently have a full roster of critics. But NYFCO is open to considering occasional new applications from those whose websites exemplify unique qualities, such as the writers' prestige in the film community, special points of view by which critics analyze and rate movies, and those who would add to NYFCO's standard of cultural diversity that acknowledges and reflects the NYC movie audience.
