I'm Now a Super-Judge!! by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

I'm Now a Super-Judge!!

I've been a judge for 500 words for five years now, and every year I take on extra stories to be judged.

This year I will have read 48, and the quality has been very high; I wouldn't be surprised if one of mine is a finalist or even the winner!!
You never cease to amaze me Jackie! Is there something you cannot do?

@ludwigsdiana tons!!! .......Photoshop, Affinity, Gimp, take a straight horizon, drink only one glass of wine, run a marathon. Actually this is a pleasure do, I read them three times and "grade" them twice, to check my first mark was fair.

@365anne been going for 10 years, started by Chris Evans on Radio 2. It's for children aged 5-13, I only judge secondary school are though.

@shutterbug49 I couldn't have been an English teacher, all those spelling errors and inappropriate apostrophes!!!

@randystreat nahhh, I can read and I love reading so I do my bit now I'm no longer a teacher

@taffy quite a lot are not great, but the child wrote 500 words, which is admirable

@anniesue I judge the older kids, I do first round judging, my top 5 are sent to another judge and its slowly whittled to final 9 from around the country

@koalagardens it is!! I enjoy the imagination of the youngsters, last year lots of terrorist themes, this year I'm getting horse tales!!

@farmreporter the scheme is the star, it's supported by top authors too

Here's a link so if you're stuck indoors you can listen to past winners read by celebs!

A super judge indeed - and such a rewarding activity - especially if you are lucky enough to have had the winner in your batch.
