JUDGE REGISTRATION
Thank you for volunteering to judge for the virtual Catskill Regional History Day Contest 2021. You will review and evaluate your entries within this contest management system. You will meet virtually with your partner judges to discuss the entries and finalize your evaluations and rankings. You can review the entries at a time of your choosing. We ask that you allow approximately 3-4 hours to review the entries that you've been assigned. In addition, please allow approximately 1 hour to discuss and rank these entries with your partner judges.
