How much adjudication would you like to do?
*
No more than 1-3 hours please.
I could do a little more than 1-3 hours, but not much.
I'd be open to something more like 4-5 hours.
6+ hours please! This is my jam! (Don't worry. We'll check in with you if this is needed.)
I confirm that I don't have any current students submitting writing to the Awards. If I encounter a work I am familiar with, I will recuse myself from adjudicating that work.

I agree to the above statement.
