Thank You for Being A Region-at-Large Adjudication Partner!
Message to RAL Partners
We are thrilled to welcome you to our new RAL Partner Adjudication Website! We built this site specifically to serve as your single, central hub for all information related to the adjudication process.
Whether you are seeking guidelines, timelines, everything you need to successfully manage your regional judging is now organized and available in one place.
Key Resources and Highlights We encourage you to explore the site right away. In particular, please note these essential resources:
Juror Preparation Videos: We've included a comprehensive library of helpful videos that you can easily share with your jurors. These resources are designed to ensure everyone is fully prepared and aligned with our standards before they
begin judging.
Program Year 2025 Celebration: Take a moment to view the look back on the Program Year 2025 celebration video. It's a wonderful reminder of the impact our collective work has on student recognition and provides great context for the program
you're helping to run this year.
This new platform is designed to streamline your efforts and provide the clear information required for a smooth adjudication cycle. We are committed to supporting you every step of the way. Thank you again for your dedication to the
program.
