Judging, Guesting, and Jurying

@jdub.anime

I offer 10+ years of experience judging competitions of all kinds, including as a juror for international competitions and pre-qualifiers. While my specialty is performance judging, I’m a well-rounded craftsman who can also judge needlework, armor and props (foam, Worbla, plastic), wig styling, and makeup.

Additionally, I’ve had the honor of being a community cosplay guest at conventions like Anime Expo and Holiday Matsuri, where I share my knowledge through hosting panels, conducting build book reviews, and taking questions at my table.

Scroll down for a complete list of my experience as a juror, judge, and guest!

I love spending my weekends in a judging room.
