FACILITATORS PLAY A KEY ROLE IN COMPETITION'S SUCCESS
We've changed the name of judging assistants to judging facilitators beginning with the 26th Edition judging but the work hasn't changed. Facilitators make sure the judging process goes smoothly for the judges. This means putting out entries, picking up winners and losers, placing voting cups on tables, sorting voting chips — you name it!
