IMPORTANT COVID-19 INFO: JUDGE RENEWALS
Covid-19 has affected the ability of Judges to participate in 2020 events that would count towards their credential requirements. The lack of opportunities to enter shows, take updates, give demonstrations/talks, attend seminars or presentations means that those Judges who would have the year 2020 as part of their 3-year renewal period are at a disadvantage.

To address this issue judges renewal dates will be deferred as follows:

• 2021 renewal dates will be deferred to 2022,
• 2022 renewal dates will be deferred to 2023, and
• 2023 renewal dates will be deferred to 2024

If you have any questions about this please contact us at ohajudges@gmail.com

All judges will be notified by the OHA Judges Registrar of these deferrals. It is hoped that 2021 will have opportunities to participate in credentials events. Please make sure you take advantage, if possible, of any virtual Judges’ updates. Virtual demonstrations, seminars, and presentations on design and horticulture taken by judges or given by judges will also count. Please keep track of times, dates, and topics covered for your renewal form. Please print off a revised renewal form (updated Oct 27/20).

Information on Judges’ Updates will be posted on the web as soon as the Judging Committee becomes aware of them. Districts are asked to keep the Judging Committee advised of judges updates they are offering by emailing ohajudges@gmail.com.
