Evaluations

The APHA encourages you to evaluate a judge's performance. The Judges Committee uses these evaluations during the review process to help determine what kind of job a judge has been doing since he/she was last reviewed. All positive and negative comments are welcome. The author of an evaluation will be kept confidential. Regular status judges are reviewed once every 3 years.

For your convenience, two evaluation forms are available for download:

• APHA Judges Evaluation Form for exhibitors (32 K PDF file).
• APHA Judges Evaluation Form for show management (32 K PDF file).

Formal complaint

To make a formal complaint against an APHA-approved judge, such complaints must be in writing, signed by the complainant, contain alleged rule violations, date and location within 60 days of the show or contest. If a grievance is filed, the procedures outlined in the disciplinary procedures would be followed. (See rules GR-070.A-O. The Rule Book is available online).

• Complaint Form (55 K PDF file).
