2019 EEA Submissions for Judges

Instructions for Judging

Hello Judges and thank you for agreeing to serve as a judge in this year's competition - on behalf of our Board of Directors, we are grateful for your time and expertise.
 
Please make sure and familiarize yourself with the Judging Criteria and its corresponding Judging Spreadsheet.
Your mission is relatively straightforward:  Please download the Judging Spreadsheet and place your name at the top.  Save this locally to your computer until you are ready to submit all your scores into our office at info@acecmw.org.  Please click on each project and open the corresponding file so that you can make your review.  Once you have scored the project, close it out and move on to the next one.  This is meant to be done at your own pace, so if you get into a groove and knock them all out at once, please feel free to submit your scores when you are done.
 
Our only ask is that you get your spreadsheet back into us by November 7th at the very latest so that we have time to communicate to the winners and get the awards ordered acordingly.  Sooner is fine with us.
 
If at any time you have questions, please feel free to send a note and we can direct you accordingly.  Note that for those projects you might have knowledge of, please simply recuse yourself so that your scores will not be included in our judges scoring tally.
Once you have submitted your scores and we tabulate them, we will share with you the letters sent to the awardees.  Note that the Grand Award(s) will not be made public until the night of the gala.  As for the Gala, your efforts in judging get you two free tickets to attend if you can make it.  Please coordinate your availability to join us the evening of December 4th at the Key Bridge Marriott.
 
Thanks again for your time and have at it!
+ Mac
