Approval

After the mandatory meetings in May, the ariZoni adjudicator selection committee will select adjudicators for the 2008-2009 season.

If you have not been selected to be an adjudicator for the upcoming season, you will receive a notice in the mail.

If you have been selected, you will receive a packet that includes adjudication guidelines, as well as a list of all the shows you are scheduled to judge during the season. All notices and packets should be sent out by July 15, 2008.

Assignment

Adjudicators are assigned to see between five and twelve shows in a season, between July 1 and June 30, at various theatres around the Valley. All shows are randomly assigned, without regard to the adjudicator's geographic location. Participating theatres are located in all areas of Maricopa County, and an adjudicator could be scheduled to see a show in any location with their participating theatre category.

Regarding preferences cited on the application form, adjudicators will be assigned to the same show category for the entire season; for example, all non-contracted musicals, or all non-contracted plays or all children's theatre.

Two complimentary tickets are provided for each show in exchange for judging. Upon arriving at the theatre, the adjudicator will be handed a pre-printed ballot with all the categories and names to be judged. After viewing the show, you will use the guidelines from your packet to complete the ballot.  Please mail it promptly to ariZoni Tabulations at the following address:
