How to Register as a Judge

Registration for judging at the fair will remain open until Sunday, March 17, 2024. If you have not already done so, you can register at this link.  After submitting your registration, you'll be listed as an official judge in the Fair program. Within a week, we will send you an email requesting confirmation of your registration to determine whether you have a potential conflict of interest with any of the students, schools, or exhibit topics at the fair.  If you have already registered but did not receive your confirmation email by March 25, contact the Judges' Committee at Judges@DiscoveryCtr.org or 845-621-1260 x-402.

The only qualifications to be a judge are a technical background in one or more of the categories and an enthusiasm to inspire children in Science & Technology. We can assure you from the responses of those judges who attended over the years that not only was the fair a lot of fun, but you could sense how appreciative the children (and their parents and teachers) were that we cared.

Feel free to invite your colleagues and professional associates who may also be interested in serving as a judge to register.  Forward the link to this page to them.  Direct any questions you may have about judging the fair by contacting the Judges' Committee at Judges@DiscoveryCtr.org or 845-621-1260 x-402.
