By Julie Hammonds, ACI Awards Chair

You did it, ACI members! You broke your own record for contest entries this year – more than 400! But it’s not quite time to relax yet. We need you — or people in your network — to judge this year’s contest! To be exact, we need 81 judges total. As of March 15, we have only 37 judges on board.

Please don’t wait for someone else to volunteer, or hope people in your network will discover ACI on their own — be a hero! Register to judge or invite five other people to do it today. Reach out to your contacts on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.

Keep in mind that any qualified person can judge, whether they work for an ACI member agency or not. What they can’t do is judge a category their agency has entered. The judging website shows every agency and the categories they entered, so potential judges can self-select categories if they wish and avoid categories in which their states are entered.
