Helpful Hints Judging The most important part of judging is the interview.
Be confident, know your subject matter, and have fun sharing your research with the judges. Judges have a limited amount of time to spend at each project. Be sure to make your oral presentation concise and meaningful. Do not ramble. Leave enough time for questioning so that the judges can fully understand your project.
