Thank you for the generous gift of your time in judging a portion of our annual contest.

This login has given you access to all entries that you have agreed to judge.  

Please submit your judging decisions by the deadline sent in the email with your login information. 

How to judge

Click on the tab above that says "judge excellence in journalism awards entries."

Select the categories you have been assigned. 

The category description will appear at the top of the page. The entries will be listed at the bottom. Select each entry to view any documents or links.

You can add your own notes in the "Judging Notes" field. These will not be passed on to the chapter. 

Once you have read through all the entries, select the winners on the main category page, using the drop-down menus at the right.  

You may award one winner for first, second and honorable mention. There should not be any ties. If there is only one entry per category, you should determine if it meets the standards of a first-place winner. If it does not, you should indicate that there is no winner.

Please submit a sentence explaining why the first-place winner deserves the award.
