All AOS judges please note that the full set of judging forms is now available on the AOS website. The forms are 2-up with similar awards being paired, or in cases of commonly-used forms, 2 duplicates per 8-1/2x11 sheet. You do not need to not write to the award registrar to request forms, but can now download and print them on-demand right here.
Show and regional center chairs can download and save these forms to a laptop for use as needed.
