Gogec 2026 Judge Application

Gogec is currently seeking judges for our 2026 competition!

Judges are expected to view the overall project of competing teams and evaluate it in accordance with the judge criteria, as are currently shown on our website: https://www.gogecconference.org/judging-criteria

Teams will be submitting their required materials including their written report and video presentation in January and live Q&A/presentations will take place in late February, 2026. Judges will be expected to review and evaluate the submitted materials in the 3 weeks between the submission deadline in January and the event in February, then complete and submit their judging evaluations directly after attending the judge Q&A period during the competition.

Note that being a judge for Gogec is a purely volunteering position, but if you volunteer as a judge you will be given priority to attend events as a guest if space is limited.

If you have any additional questions about judging, feel free to email us at [email protected].
