Competitive Event Judges

Welcome to Washington TSA’s Competitive Events Program

As a supporter of the Washington Technology Student Association, we invite you to join us as a volunteer judge at the 2025 WTSA State Conference. The students of Washington TSA are dependent on leaders like you to have the chance to compete and learn.

Career opportunities in STEM are at a monumental high, but applicants often lack the leadership skills and real-world experience to succeed in the workplace. Through strategic partnerships with industry leaders, Washington TSA (Technology Student Association) enhances STEM students’ personal development, leadership, and career opportunities and provides the chance for students to apply what they have learned in the classroom to solution-oriented projects.

We are in GREAT need of volunteer judges and would like to enlist your help in that important effort. This is a great way to help ensure the students of Washington TSA have the chance to compete. These competitions quite literally cannot happen without volunteers like you.

Judging is both simple and rewarding!

This year, we are looking for people to judge both remotely and in-person during our State Conference.

Judging Dates

Virtual preliminary judging runs January 23 - Feb 8, 2025

Additional virtual judging will happen between March 10-30, 2025.

On-site judging will take place at the Spokane Convention Center, and Davenport Grand Hotel on April 3 & 4, 2025
