FAQ

WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF SOME CATEGORIES REQUIRE “VOUCHERS OR JUDGING  FUNDS” TO BE SUPPLIED?

Some categories require the venue to supply vouchers or additional funds to cover accommodation and/or meal costs that are associated with judging the venue. This allows the judge to comfortably dine and enjoy the venue to its full extent without being inhibited financially. There is no limit to the value you put on the amount, as we encourage each venue to make it an amount that you feel adequately covers what will be judged, as each venue will differ in pricing. The requirements of the voucher or judging funds for each category is outlined in the Nomination Information Kit.
