NTA Lifetime Judges

NTA Lifetime Judging Criteria

  • Must be an NTA member in good standing.
  • Must pay a one-time fee of $50.00.
  • Need to have 3 competitions assisting an NTA sanctioned judge. (assisting them can either be as a scribe, or lending advise when needed.)
  • Judging experience can be substituted by one of two ways:
    • If you have won an NTA Award of Excellence, that can be applied to two judging experiences,
    • Or by winning two blue ribbons (both at the NTA national convention in either the Division of Excellence or the Open Division) will count as one judging experience.
  • You will be required to have a minimum of one actual judging experience.
