Grand Prix Las Vegas

Howdy! We're glad you're interested in applying to be a part of Grand Prix Las Vegas! The dates for this event at Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23, 2013. A limited number of staff will be needed for Last Chance Trials on Friday, June 21.


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!



We anticipate a higher-than-average number of applicants for this event, and we also expect turnout to be higher than normal for a North American GP. Because of other events scheduled in Las Vegas for this weekend, we are closing applications earlier than normal so we can announce selections earlier and allow non-sponsored judges better opportunities to find appropriate accommodations.

The application window will close on Friday, March 8.

Staff selections will be announced by Friday, March 15.
