Judge
We (Satori CM) believe judging is not only about skill evaluation but also, more importantly, about providing positive feedback, constructive criticism, and encouragement. In accordance with our beliefs, we continue to improve the guidelines and codes of conduct for our judges to ensure standardization of the judging process.
Results Distribution
The results for a category’s age group will be announced one hour after the group’s completion. The trophy and commenting sheets will be handed out at the same time that the results are announced. We are very grateful for your patience and cooperation in last year’s event. Even with the unprecedented turnout, we were still able to maintain a very efficient process of results distribution. We look forward to your cooperation again in the coming event.
Fee Increase Notice:
Nationwide inflation has significantly increased our cost of operation (venue rental, prize procurement, etc). Unfortunately, we will be increasing registration costs by $10 this year. We thank you for your understanding as we try to organize a fulfilling event for you in the current economy.
Please be on the lookout for additional updates in the coming weeks. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at:
