I can understand why you were crushed by such a bad experience! I ALWAYS
find something to praise, no matter how poor the entry and try to phrase
negative criticisms in the form of suggestions, eg "You might want to look
at... Perhaps you should consider... You could make this even better by...". 

I think people are very brave to enter competitions and should receive every
encouragement to continue creating things. May all your future experiences
make up for this lousy start!
