What are the requirements?

-Must have an account on the messaging app, Discord, and be online checking messages regularly

-Must have experience with your respective genre

-Must be willing to work under a deadline, and stick to commitments with judging

-Must be willing to not enter in this contest, as that obviously creates a conflict of interest

How do I apply?

Send us a PM, with your answers to these questions.

1. What is your experience with this genre?

2. What do you hope to bring to the table as a judge?

3. Can you work on a deadline and stick to commitments?

4. Are you regularly online?

5. Do you have a Discord account?

We'll read your application, and most likely if we like what we we see, you'll then get an interview, where we'll get to know you a bit better and make sure you're a good fit. And, if all goes smoothly, you'll be added onto our team!

As judges are accepted, we will list them below their categories. If you are thinking about entering, make sure to give these people a follow, because they're really awesome and deserve it! (And also, remember to follow the judge for your respective genre, it's a requirement!)
