Criterion C4

Judging With a Verifiable Audit Trail

Can someone verify that you actually evaluated the work of others?

Official criterion C4 • 8 CFR 204.5(h)(3)(iv)

Key takeaways

  1. 1Show that you actually evaluated the work of others in your field or an allied field.
  2. 2An invitation alone is not enough; keep score sheets, review records or organizer confirmation of completion.
  3. 3Judging arranged just to create evidence is a trap; organizer letters can address confidentiality limits.
