Reciprocal Judges Needed ASAP

The Excaliburs are well over (for now), but we still need your help! Once again, our chapter will be scoring the Inland Empire chapter’s Polaris Awards, which means we’re looking for qualified judges.

You can judge entries in two ways:

1) By yourself: We’ll send you electronic files so you can review each entry at your own convenience. All completed judging forms must be returned by Friday, Sept. 30.

2) With others: We’ll hold an in-person session Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 5:30 p.m. (date/time is flexible based on interested parties). Just bring your laptop and we’ll bring the food.

Please Note: You must have APR status OR a minimum of five years full-time experience in the PR field. Every entry should be judged by at least one practitioner with APR status.

If you haven’t participated in reciprocal judging before, it’s a great way to improve your own awards competition writing, learn about the work other communities are doing and help your chapter!

If interested or have any questions, please email Devon Slobodzian at [email protected], and indicate how many entries you are able to judge (estimate 20-30 minutes for each), and which judging method (individual or group) you prefer. To learn more about Inland’s Polaris Awards click here.
