  •  Virtual State Contest Sign-Up

    • Judging for our State contest will be completed virtually, without student interviews.
    • Judging will be done synchronously in Zoom breakout rooms to view, score, rank, and complete all paperwork as a team. 
    • NHD-CA will arrange all Zoom calls and provide staff to answer questions during judging.
    • Judging will be divided into several days. Preliminary judging will be Saturday, April 17 and Sunday, April 18 for all divisions. Finals round judging will be on Saturday, May 1 and Sunday, May 2.
    • Judges must virtually complete self-paced training and attend orientation each day of judging.
    • All results and comments must be submitted digitally by the deadline indicated for each judging session.

    Much like an in-person contest, virtual project review, comment writing, and discussion can take an estimated three hours of time for each session you sign up to judge.
