Judge Frequently Asked Questions
How much time would judging require?
The orientation will last approximately one hour. The competitive event lasts 1-5 hours, depending on the event. Estimated total time will be between 2-4 hours. If you are interested, we would love to have you judge multiple competitive events. They could be in the same general field or, to see the variety of events HOSA encompasses, you could judge an entirely different style of event later in the day. There are a couple of events that may last all day.
Am I qualified to judge?
All judge information and answers to the competition questions are provided to the judges before the competition, as well as, scoring guidelines. Due to the variety of events, adult professionals with a variety of skills and experiences are needed to serve as event judges. Official event guidelines can be reviewed at http://www.hosa.org/guidelines.
Am I reimbursed for expenses?
No. However, WA HOSA will provide your meals, parking and admission to the opening and closing ceremonies. If you would like to attend the opening ceremonies, you will need to check in at the registration counter on Thursday. A continental breakfast will be provided during the Judges’ Orientation and Training Friday morning, as well as, lunch in the afternoon. Also, you will have the opportunity to meet with students and professionals from across the state. Your participation can help encourage students to pursue a career in healthcare!
Exactly where is it located?
This year the WA HOSA State Leadership Conference will be held at the Spokane Convention Center and Davenport Grand Hotel. We provide precise directions with local telephone contacts in our judge information packets. You will receive confirmation via e-mail from WA HOSA when you agree to serve as a judge. You will also be provided with a copy of the event guidelines and judge instructions.
