Judge Requirements
Our judges are professionals with college degrees or ample work experience in any of our
Fair Categories. Judges must be able to commit to a majority of the day of the fair as your schedule will look something like this:
9-11:30am Project Preview (your time to view projects & papers WITHOUT the
students present -- you can arrive ANY time after 9am)
11:30-Noon
Box Luncheon and BRIEF Judge's Meeting
Noon-3pm
This timeframe is fluid and completely dependent upon the number
of projects and judges in your category because students are
dismissed according to category as soon as judge's deliberations
in each category are complete.
Our Judges are VERY IMPORTANT people to us and are a VITAL component of our Fair -- please contact our
Fair Director if you have special needs or have further questions!
