I would gladly be a Section Judge again, but before I apply, could I ask when the period would be that it would be going ahead? I have exams from 13th May - 3rd June so it would not be the best idea for me to be a Section Judge if it clashes with that period as I will have to prioritise my exams over the contests, which would be unfair on the applicants and put more pressure on me so I wouldn't judge to the best of my ability.
Edit: Ok, as the time period doesn't seem to clash, I will apply for the Drawn art section for judging (then it still allows me to participate in pixel and graphical art if i wish to)
So here is my application:
Name: Corrupt_Voidlich
What sections are you applying for? Drawn Art
What is your experience in the area(s) you want to be a judge for? I have been a judge in many many contests before so I know the way to critique successfully, the way to distribute judging points to come to an overall winner and how to be an unbiased judge. I have also participated in many contests, so I know just what the entrants would want from it. I have a lot of ideas for themes that I could use, which would vary from week to week, one week being a very open broad theme that allows creativity to roam free but the next would be a focused theme, that puts to test people's abilities to stick to a brief. These would test the skills of all the entrants so to make them better, along with the critiques helping with this too, so that would mean if they didnt win, at least they got something out of it. Finally, I held the Drawn Art contest in last year's WAR so I know exactly how things are done, how they run and what is expected of me.
If chosen for the judging position, how would you go about judging it and distributing points (you will have 6 each week to distribute)? The standard way. 3rd- 1 Point 2nd- 2 points 1st- 3 points (If I get a draw at first, there will be no 2nd and third place as they will both be awarded 3 points, if there is a draw at 2nd place, there will be no third place and no third place for the following week as they would both get 2 points, which would make 7 points distributed that weeks so I will balance it out the next week, if third place wins, i will do the same for the previous example, there will be no third place the following week to balance out the distributed points)
I want to make this war much more fun than last year so I will have to think outside the box now. Can't wait. Also, as Drawn art and Graphical art have branched off, it will be much more focused.
