Judging Timeline

Timeline of Events

Wednesday, November 20th & Thursday, November 21st

While it would be amazing to have the same judges for both days, we completely understand that whatever time you are able to give us would be very much appreciated. One day is perfectly fine. We would just need to know which day would be the best for you so that we can plan accordingly.
