Information for Judges:

General: QRSTF judges are volunteers from throughout the community: a mix of returning and new judges. Whenever possible, new judges are paired with experienced judges. Judges receive an orientation session prior to the fair, and a briefing immediately before the fair.

Our judges do an excellent job; we thank them very much! We are always in need of new judges. If you are interested, please contact our coordinator, Randy Votary, at 966-1170 ext. 2133 or Jo-Anne Peckham  jpeckham@hpedsb.on.ca

SCHEDULE FOR JUDGING:  Judges are asked to arrive at the Kente Building main entrance and follow signs to the judges headquarters. Judges should arrive between 8:00 and 8:15 so they can sign in, meet their partners and preview the judging package.  A short briefing will begin at 8:30 sharp.  The major portion of the judging will be accomplished between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon. Most judges who are not involved with second round judging, are free to leave after the morning session.

9:00 - 12:00 - All first round JUDGING and some special awards.

Elementary School Judging

All of the exhibits in Grades 4 - 8 will be placed into groups of 5 - 9 according to grade, type, and class (either life science or physical science, when possible). One judge or a pair of judges will be assigned to each group, whenever possible. After judging is completed, the judges will give out participation certificates to each entrant and third, second and first place ribbons. These tasks should be completed by noon.

Secondary School Judging

The exhibits in grades 9 - 12 will be placed into groups of 5 - 9 according to grade, type and class of inquiry; either biological sciences or physical sciences (e.g. chemistry, physics). After judging is competed, the judges will give out participation certificates to each entrant and third, second and first place ribbons. These tasks should be completed by noon.

 

12:00 - 1:00  LUNCH  Where a project has only a single exhibiter, he or she should take their lunch between 12:30 and 1:00. Other entrants will be able to take a lunch break between 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. providing there are no special requests communicated by the judges and providing there is at least one entrant at the project.

12:30 - 3:30  Second Round Judging and the Remainder of the Special Awards  

 4:00 - 5:30  (approx.) = AWARDS PRESENTATION:  Automotive Centre

Prizes will be awarded starting as close to 4:00 p.m. as possible.   Sometimes the start is delayed because the Judging Teams are in need of a few more minutes to  complete their final deliberations.
