To be eligible to judge the Connoisseur Cup, participation and successful completion of our Level 1 certificate program at any main event qualifier throughout the season is mandatory.
After completing the Level 1 requirements, you will be invited to meet with the official judges and commence judging entries throughout the month. As the official judges deem fit, you will be granted Level 2 certification and tasked with guiding new judges. Upon proficiency in these duties, Level 3 certification will be conferred, and you will become eligible to serve as an official judge.
All Champions will be awarded a medal and/or trophy, accompanied by comprehensive marketing and promotional support across all our media channels. Additionally, you will be featured in our annual Skunk Magazine spread and be eligible for family discounts with our partners and sponsors when available. As valued members of our community, we will prioritize your best interests and provide ongoing support.
