Congratulations!
Welcome to the Council. We look forward

Your Chapter Needs YOU!
New volunteers are always valuable since
they contribute new ideas and additional skills.
We all have the same goals, such as, to further our skills,
learn more about and promote our profession, and network with others.
Please pitch in to help us provide services to you and our STC Boston
Chapter members.
Judging is a great opportunity not only to see what
is being produced in our field, but to team up with other professionals
to provide feedback and input. It is a team effort to help encourage
quality in our profession.
The Orientation package contains all the forms
for judging.
If applicable, perform Web site judging.
Attend all-day Consensus Judging to review all
entries in all categories, determine award winners, and finalize
the judging forms. Judges who have reviewed entries via URL attend
half-day.
Review the materials at home during the last
week of October and the first two weeks of November, marking the
judging forms with detailed, preliminary comments.
Note that only 2 copies of the worksheet are provided in the packet. The worksheet is available online. We actually prefer that you complete it online. It is much easier for the entrant to read your comments. You can also find a copy of the handbook.
Attend Consensus Judging to confer with other
judges on the entries. Entries are evaluated by category, and
the time commitment is approximately 3 to 4 hours, depending on
the number of entries in the category. At this time, the judging
teams determine the award winners and finalize the judging forms.
Note that all judges must attend orientation.
If you have any questions about judging, don't
hesitate to ask one of the competitions
contacts.
