The CNH Key Club District Contests & Awards program is designed to honor individuals who have demonstrated overall excellence throughout the past District Administrative year, but their submissions must be judged properly in order to be awarded. District Judges help the Member Recognition Committee complete this process; it is a privilege to serve as a District Judge. Please do not take these responsibilities lightly.
Applications are due on January 25th, 2025 at 6:00 PM Local Time.
To be eligible for this opportunity, the applicant must pertain to the following:
- A current Key Club member in good standing who is dues-paid and has served at minimum 50 hours of service.
- Have a general knowledge about the levels of Key Club as well its focus and mission.
- Have the ability to work with a team and deadlines.
Remember:
- Judging requires time to review applications. Be ready to dedicate or set aside a few hours to judge contest submissions.
- Judges must remain unbiased, level-headed, and focused. They cannot judge any of their home club’s submissions.
- The decisions of the Member Recognition Chair and Division Lieutenant Governors are final.
DISTRICT JUDGING
- Judges must review and judge all submissions of the contest category assigned to them. A deadline for the submission of judging score sheets will be provided by the Member Recognition Chair.
- The judging process for District contests occurs via the internet. Judges must be able to download the files sent to them as well as the scoring sheets, complete the sheet, submit the scores, and delete all files.
- Prior to judging official contest submissions, judges will be required to judge a sample portfolio to ensure their understanding of the contest grading rubrics.
ON-SITE JUDGING
- Judges must review and judge all submissions of the contest category assigned to them: Club Poster or Traditional Year-In-Review,
- The judging process for On-Site contests occurs in person at District Convention 2025, after the on-site contest submission deadline has passed. Applicants must attend DCON and may not be candidates for District positions, camera or stage interns, or in any other position which may conflict during the times in which these contests are judged.
