AKJA judges voluntarily travel to koi shows at their own expense. Requests for koi show judges should be made at least 90-days prior to the scheduled show. Many of our judges need to schedule time off from work and ensure there are no other conflicting commitments. Judges should be provided with information such as koi show rules, koi show itinerary, transportation to/from the local airport, hotel.
Shows may contact any Certified/Senior Certified judge directly to request that they judge a specific show. Candidate and Student judges must be appointed through the certification committee. Candidate and Student judges may not function as a head judge for a koi show. If you would like to request a candidate or student judge, or are having difficulty securing a judging team, please complete the form below.
