If the contestant submitted an entry you can view it there as well. File attachments appear as an icon, and images are shown in the message itself. As a courtsey, you should immediately rate the submission (from one to five stars). This lets the contestant know how you feel about it:

If it's needs work, then you can message them the details. This lets them refine it until you are happy with the result.

In addition to viewing each contestant's work separately, you can easily compare them to other contestants too. To do this, click "Compare all contestant's uploads / submissions" (located in the "options" link below the message).
