Expectations



Please be reminded that judging a GP is a lot of fun, but it's also a lot of work. You get to see a bunch of old friends and you'll hopefully make a few new ones - but you'll also take judge calls, give rulings, take registration, pick up trash, count lists, push in chairs, prepare product, pick up trash, move tables, push in chairs, deploy tablecloths, pick up trash, fold tablecloths, push in chairs, stay up late, pick up trash, help the artists, push in chairs, help with breakdown, and pick up trash!



The application window will close on Friday, March 8.

Staff selections will be announced by Friday, March 15.
