Thank you for your interest in becoming a judge!

Here is some general information about the judging process. You will receive more specific information once the process begins.

The judging period begins in April and ends May 3. When the judging period begins, you will be notified and given access to the entries in your category. There may be anywhere from four to less than 30 entries in your category. Judging consists of reviewing every entry, using established criteria to award points, then providing constructive criticism. 

The amount of work involved depends on the category and the number of entries (which varies from year to year).

If you have any questions about ACI, the contest, or judging, please contact me. I'm here to help!
