Public Registration: Judges

  1. From the public registration welcome page, select the appropriate contest from the list of all available contests.
    • If you don't see your contest listed, registration is currently closed for that particular event so check back once the registration has opened. If you feel this is an error, contact your contest coordinator.

      Helpful Tip

      If you have participated as a judge before in a previous contest season, you will want to contact your contest coordinator to see if you can use the username and password from that season or if you will need to create a new profile.

  2. Choose Judge from the Registrant Type drop-down list, and click the Submit button.
  3. Log into the system.
    1. If you are participating as a judge for the first time, select the link Don't have a username and password? Click here to begin.
    2. If you have registered through this system for a previous contest, you will have already created a username and password for yourself. Enter the same username and password on the login page to access this new contest. You can now move on to step 11.

      3. Helpful Tip

      If you do not remember your login information, click the link Forgot your login information under the login area and follow the instructions provided to obtain this information. Do not create a new record for yourself if you have already created one but do not remember your login information! Contact your contest coordinator if you are not able to retrieve your login information on your own.

  4. You will be transferred to your Personal Information page, which requires you to provide the following information about yourself, as indicated by a red asterisk (*).
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Street
    • City
    • State
    • Zip
    • Preferred Email
    • Last Four Digits of Your Home Phone Number
    • Username
    • Password
  5. The following fields give you an opportunity to indicate any judging preferences that you have:
  6. Once you have completed the required fields, click the Save button at the bottom of the page.

    7. Helpful Tip

    If you do not remember your username or your password, try checking your email, as the system sends a registration confirmation to your PREFERRED EMAIL ADDRESS with your username and password.

  7. Congratulations! You have completed the first part of the registration. Now you will be redirected to a login page where you will be asked to provide your username and password to continue the registration process. Click Submit to proceed.
  8. You will now be taken to your Judge Registration Status Page. Please, take time to study the page and read the instructions. Note that each field required to complete registration has a red asterisk (*) next to it. As you complete each step of registration, a green checkmark will appear to the left of each of the required items, signifying its completion. Right now, Who Are You: (NAME) is probably the only link with this symbol.
  9. If you would like to make changes to any of your personal information, such as your preferred email address or your username and password, click on the Who Are You: (NAME) link to do so.
  10. Depending on your contest, you may be required to complete additional information as part of the registration process. If this is the case, then simply click on any additional links to complete these additional steps.
  11. Once you have completed all of the registration items, please click the Email me a confirmation of my registration button at the bottom of the status page. By doing so, a summary of your current registration will be sent to your PREFERRED EMAIL ADDRESS.
  12. If you have accrued any fees as part of registration, then click the green Confirm Registration and Review Fee Summary button at the bottom of your Judge Registration Status Page.
    1. To pay for your fees, check the boxes to the left of each registration item you'll be paying for in Step 1 of the checkout process.
    2. In Step 2, review the fee summary, and enter your payment information.
    3. In Step 3, print out a copy of the confirmation screen (or the payment confirmation that is emailed to your PREFERRED EMAIL ADDRESS) with a summary of your fees and mail it in with your check or purchase order.
  13. Once payment has been submitted, your registration is complete!
