In the coming weeks hundreds of judges from other chapters will be serving as judges for your entries. Please take time to serve as a judge. Online judging can be conducted any time - day or night - all you need is a computer and an internet connection. We are wrapping up judging for the Heartland chapter and we have the Mid-Atlantic chapter on deck, followed by Rocky Mountain Southwest and Chicago/Midwest. As we phase out DVD entries we do have URGENT judging to complete for the Heartland Chapter that are on DVD format: Newscast, Community Service and Documentary.
Please contact Misti Torres McCarty immediately if you can complete the DVD judging. Each category or panel must have a minimum of five (5) judges in order to be considered complete. Judges need not be NATAS members. NATAS on FACEBOOK The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences now has a Facebook page. Like it today and get the latest NATAS news.
