Do you have a number of years of experience in your line of work? Do
you consider yourself pretty darn competent at what you do? If so,
please consider sharing your expertise with others by signing up to be
a judge for the 2009-2010 STC (Society for Technical Communication)
D.C. area competition!

There are actually two separate competitions: Online Communication and
Technical Publications. Each competition is split into categories for
which entrants submit their work. When you apply to be a judge, you
can specify your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices for the categories you’d
like to judge.

If you would like to be a judge, there are two major meetings that you
need to put on your calendar:

• Entries Pick-Up and Judges’ Training meeting

  Saturday, Dec. 5, 10:30 am – 12 noon, at Patrick Henry Library in
  Vienna. Snacks are provided.

• Consensus Meeting

  Saturday, Jan. 9, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm, at 1st Presbyterian Church in
  Arlington. Lunch is provided.

In the five weeks between these two required meetings, you can expect
to spend approximately 10 -15 hours total going over the four to six
entries you are judging.
