Volunteer Judges Needed

As with any competition or student event, volunteers, especially volunteer judges, are needed. All levels of expertise are needed and welcome. Please fill out the form below if you would like to lend your expertise on May 2nd or 3rd, 2025. If you are not available on either of those dates but would still like to volunteer, IJAS is also in need of safety review judges (online) the weeks before the event and event prep volunteers throughout April. 

All judge volunteers must have at least completed high school.
