Hi! I was a replacement judge for NGADM round 1 and this is my review of your track!
I scored mixing and composition/arrangement separately so I'll explain here what score I gave you and why. 8/10 in my scoring scheme is "Great", 10/10 is exceptional. To get 10 the piece needed to go beyond expectations, to have a unique sonic quality and present an original aspect (or several) in terms of composition.

Production: 7/10
You mixed the track well, that's for sure. Everything has its place and they fit together coherently in the space. On the other hand you have a very amateurish sound! It's a shame, you should work on that. I'd say the guitar sounds like guitar pro or something...
Composition/arrangement (where valid): 7
You have definitely got a talent for singing. Good tone, precise performance. On the other hand this sounds like so many other things out there, the kind you hear in teen movies and such.
7/10, good technical skills, good vocals, not so good sound, not the most original work.
Over all good score though, congrats.
