As a Rotary Club Contest Sponsor, your club members are invited to participate in the judging process which will kick off with the essay due date of February 12, 2024. This year, Georgia Laws of Life Essay Contest is introducing a new submission and judging platform hosted by Award Force. While the Contest and its judging process remain the same, it will look and feel a little different from last year. School-Level Essay Judge overview:

  • February 12th - Essay Judges begin receiving a notification from Award Force to create their account.
  • February 19th - Essay Judges will begin to receive their essay assignments and Google Calendar invites with their team information. Teams of 2 essay judges and one team lead receive 30-48 essays that they will read and score independently using Award Force. We estimate that it should take approx. 3 hours to read and score all the essays.  Two days before the Team Meeting judges are asked to complete scoring.
  • February 26 - Team meetings begin. On the day of your Team Meeting, teams use GoTo to meet with a volunteer team lead to discuss and select school-level winners and Honorable Mentions.
