To enter the 2020 Winter Olympics Award as a Judge, you must follow the rules exactly:

Rule 1: You may enter the contest as a Participant and still be a Judge, but you cannot judge the Genre in which you have a Participant submission.  Additionally, you cannot become a Winner's Circle judge if you are participating as both a Participant and a Judge in the contest.

Rule 2: You must read a minimum of three chapters up to a maximum of six chapters for Participant submissions before finalizing a Judge's Score.  An equivalent reading duration is expected for Short Story & Poetry judging.

Rule 3: Judges must follow my account to receive updates on the awards: xfamiliarfreedomx

Rule 4: No bribery is tolerated from the judges (or participants).

Rule 5: No belligerent behavior is tolerated from the judges (or participants).

All judges are expected to judge in the Genre Phase, but Winner's Circle judging is assigned based on your form submission preference and/or participant status.  Winner's Circle Judges get paid in profile follows from the host and entire set of participants from the competition.

If you're interested in becoming a judge, please fill out the following judge request submission form in the end-of-chapter comments:

1. Username

2. Have You Entered (Or Will You Enter) as a Participant?   Which Genre?

3. Desired Genre Category to Judge:

4. What Qualifies You to Judge this Category (Years Experience, Previous Awards, General Interest or Passion for the Genre, etc.)?

5. Are You Interested in Judging the Winner's Circle Round?

6. Password: Favorite flavor of ice cream?

7. Tags for Other Potential Judges for the Awards (minimum of one tag)

If accepted as a judge, please DM me your e-mail address.  I will be e-mailing out an Excel template to use when evaluating participant submissions when the judging period opens.  Please submit completed template forms (one form per submission) to me when finished with your judging.

Having all feedback in the same format will help me to tabulate end results more efficiently for everyone in the long run.  Thanks for your understanding!
