| Judging at the Synopsys ChampionshipThe 2012 Synopsys Championship (the 52nd consecutive regional science fair brought to you by SCVSEFA) will be held on Wednesday, March 7, 2012, in the new South Hall of the McEnery Convention Center in downtown San Jose. Parking Info and Driving Directions This web page takes judges to the contact information and schedules
for the event. Two Kinds of JudgesHave you judged at the Synopsys Championship before? Then you've heard
the terms Category Judge and Special Awards Judge. But if you are new to this, or want a refresher, here's the difference. CATEGORY JudgesYou evaluate projects in specific scientific categories like Biology or Physics.
If you are a Category Judge, you register on our web site, and you answer questions about your education and category preferences.
Special Awards JudgesIn addition to SCVSEFA Place Awards (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), over 250 Special
Awards are also available! Special Awards are sponsored by corporations, professional organizations, and individuals. Each organization sets it's own criteria for the awards they offer. Special Award judges evaluate projects that meet the criteria of the
sponsoring organization. If you are a Special Awards Judge, you probably are from the sponsoring organization, and either you have been in touch with one of our Special Awards coordinators, or you have been invited by one of your colleagues. If you have any questions, contact specialawards@science-fair.org. You may preview projects between 10:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M., before the students arrive.
