What is involved in Merit Judging?

Judges will have to be available for a full day of judging. There will be two rounds of judging – round one is the review of projects without the students in the morning and round two involves interviewing the students in the afternoon. Lunch will be provided.

Each project will receive multiple judging experiences. As a merit judge you will be assigned to a group and receive 6-8 projects to evaluate.  Judges will apply the judging criteria communicated to all participants by BASEF. These criteria are detailed in the Judging Form.

New judges are encouraged to participate in one of the Zoom training sessions offered in February, 2024.
