Judging for Lower Great Lakes and DC Chapters in English and Spanish
We have an online Emmy® judging opportunity and a Super Panel this month to judge the Lower Great Lakes and DC Chapters, in both Spanish and English categories. When you submit your Emmy® Entry, you are agreeing to judge other chapters’ entries. Without this reciprocity, there would be no Emmy® Awards. Judges will receive one judging reward per panel judged. Judging rewards are valued at $5- each, and can be used towards membership renewal, Emmy® Entry submissions, and Emmy® Event Tickets. The deadline to complete judging is Tuesday, March 31, 2015.
The list of panels for each Chapter is below, with the qualifications, categories, number of entries to be judged and the total running time of the panel.
