Here are the judging groups for this year’s APSE Contest.
Included is an email contact for each judge.
Only the first category that each group will be judging is listed. As that category is completed and turned in, the chairs for the respective groups will be given their next category.
Note that some groups have a designated site in which to judge and some do not. The ones that do are judging sections. The ones that do not have sections to judge should meet up wherever it’s convenient, at the discretion of the chair.
Thanks to all who are here in Orlando to judge the 2016 contest, and good luck to all.
Jeff Rosen,
Contest chair
