Guest Judges are passionate and will handle your exhibit with the utmost care.
This is a not for profit contest: all monies received will be invested in prizes (not including the nuc which is a donation) and awarded accordingly.

All judging is subjective based on the judges personal thoughts and whose decision will be final.
I will personally check moisture content and note my personal thoughts and recommendations with the judges score and return them to each participant.
