We want you to volunteer as a contest judge!
Contest judging makes you a better modeler!
That’s probably the best reason to volunteer as a judge at Noreastcon 2023. Here’s what Kyle Yanson has to say about his experience as a first-time judge at Noreastcon@50 in 2022: "The whole experience was exciting and informative as I am still relatively new to modeling. In carefully viewing and comparing other modelers’ work, and conferring with members of the judging team, I was not only able to offer observations on the models, but I also learned a lot of tips, tricks, dos, and don’ts for improving my own builds! Being a judge really lets you appreciate the subtle build nuances that you might otherwise overlook in your own modeling." Whether you're an old hand or want to participate as a new judge, use our handy online Judging Sign Up Sheet now or email head judge Tim Burke and let him know you want to judge.
