Judging Info

JUDGING TIMELINE

Judging  will commence on February 18th and will continue through the month of October.

CHAPTER CALENDAR VARIATIONS

Chapter calendars differ across the country, which means there may be times when judging activities are paused. Conversely, there are also periods when judging takes place simultaneously for four or five different chapters.

JUDGING DEADLINES

Meeting all judging deadlines is crucial so the chapter we’re responsible for has ample time to prepare for their nomination announcements. Please remember that our judging partners are following the same process on our behalf.
