Trainee Judges Program

W A FLORAL ART SOCIETY INC 'TRAINEE JUDGES & DEMONSTRATING PROGRAMME'

CRITERIA FOR TRAINEE JUDGES & DEMONSTRATING PROGRAMME

(as determined and conducted by the

West Australian Floral Art Society Judges Committee)

The Panel of the West Australian Floral Art Society 'Judges Committee' determines the syllabus, format and times this programme will commence, with the Australian Floral Art Association (AFAA) Manual used as a source of reference. The duration of the ‘Trainee Judges’ programme is 2 years; with an optional 6-month course pertaining to ‘Demonstrating’ on offer should a member successfully complete this course.

Criteria:

	Members must have competed and successfully passed through the 'Show Benches', which consist of the ‘Novice’, ‘Intermediate’ and ‘Senior' sections (an approximate 2-3 year period)
	Members must have competed in the ‘Open Benches’ for an approximate 12-month period showing a high level of competency.
	Members must have entered in a WA Floral Art Society State Championship and WA Floral Art Society Members Championship competitions.
	Must be willing to commit to an intensive 2-year ‘Trainee Judges’ programme

A ‘Trainee Judges’ programme can only be undertaken when a group of 6 or more members are prepared to commence this course.

These courses provide wonderful opportunities for the floral designer to gain a wealth of knowledge on many aspects of floral design – from mastering techniques to applying the principles and elements to designs and acknowledging that as floral artists we will continue to learn, pass on knowledge and inspire others.

Members interested in pursuing this course and are able to comply with the above criteria, should offer an ‘expression of interest’ to the Secretary of the ‘Judges Committee’ - Sharon Cunningham, for further consideration.

Judges provide assessment at monthly meetings and are also available to judge at our affiliated clubs and other horticultural group floral competitions throughout Australia. All judging, demonstrating and workshop assignments must be directed through the WA Floral Art Society Judges Committee to ensure judges are allocated accordingly and a record of assignments is noted.
