Event Information

GENERAL INFORMATION

Welcome to the application for a MidAtlantic Region mini-conference! This conference will be held at the lovely Cape Fear Games in Wilmington North Carolina!

This conference is FOIL-supported. To be eligible for foils, the applicant must be certified and accepted to the conference by 9 March.  Uncertified Judges are welcome to apply and attend!

 

To be accepted, please write a cover letter letting us know what you might like to get out of attendance.  Applications with no cover letter will be accepted at a lower priority. 

 

We will perform rolling acceptances, so be sure to apply sooner than later!

 

ADDITIONALLY, we are looking to add another presentation into our day and need a presenter for Event Awareness & Judge Calls. If you would like to present something you are passionate about, LET US KNOW. We need more judges like you to show us what is important to you, so we can make it important to us.
