Applications are open to judges of all levels as well as judge candidates. Please make sure you apply before May 4th to help confirm attendance numbers.     

Each applicant is expected to provide a short cover letter where they must explain which subjects related to judging they would like to see presented.  This will help us determine the community's needs and plan presentations accordingly if possible.

Judge candidates are welcome to attend, but are not eligible for judge foils.

As always, each attendee is required to fill out the feedback form for each seminar as well as the General Conference Feedback form to obtain their foils, which will be mailed out after the conference is over.
