Judge information for 2020-2021 Fair
Judges will be asked to select their availability for judging on the
judge application. All judges should complete and/or update their
information on the current application. The application is for
category judges AND those judging professional awards. Please
note: Since the fair is virtual this year, all judges will be
required to attend a training session (virtually), to be scheduled
during the last week of February.
There will be two different judging sessions, all done virtually:
Session 1 occurs from Thursday, March 4, 2021, starting at 8:00 AM
and continues until Sunday, March 7, 2021 at 5:00 PM. Judges will
review entries submitted online (includes a video and pdf of a 'project
presentation' and score them. Each judge will review 20-25 projects.
Most of the judging should occur on Thursday and Friday, with Saturday and
Sunday for final cleanup.
Session 2 occurs on Wednesday, March 10, 2021 from 9:00 AM to noon
and will involve interviews with the top 50 senior division students.
These interviews will be scheduled in 15 minute increments and judges will
be preassigned to particular students at particular times. A special
judge orientation session (in addition to the training) will occur at 8:30
AM
Please provide the information requested below if you desire to be a
judge. If you have judged before, we still need you to go through the
application. We will contact you after we receive your application,,
by e-mail (preferably) or regular mail.
Judges may be expected to help with
multiple categories and/or divisions.
