A Few Words

Who Are We

We would like to introduce the International Judge Program, an initiative started by a group of volunteers from different European countries to create an international association for judges. The main goal is the creation of an inclusive organization of event experts that serves the needs of the judge community and collaborates with partner organizations around the world. This association is meant to especially serve judges who don’t have any local or regional judge organizations to join but it will welcome members regardless of their membership with other judge organizations. Read our Code of Conduct here.

We’re in the process of creating an association in Spain (“Asociación”) to give legal support to this initiative. Documents will be written in English and Translated into Spanish for legal requirements.
