Business Professionals of America – Area 1 Region 3, the premier CTSO for serving students in Frisco, Plano, McKinney and Garland, is seeking judges for our regional-level student contest entries and would love your help!

Our high school students in this organization will have been working over several months to prepare their research, business skills, and presentations for regional, state and national competition. We’re inviting you to take part in this first round, and have the opportunity to see the great work our students will have been doing. They rely on YOU to HELP THEM get better!

Take a few moments to review the sign-up online at https://area1region3.bpa.org/judges/. We’ve provided the option for you to help with our virtual prelims (you don’t have to live in North Texas!), or our on-site finals. We also have the link to each event’s description for your convenience. For some events, we’ve broken the pre-submitted materials judging into a technical evaluation and a presentation evaluation; please pick the type of scoring you’re more comfortable doing.

Materials will become available for your review starting December 18, 2026. We will need them back graded by January 4, 2027, so we can release finals. Our finals in-person event is Saturday, January 16, 2027, at Reedy High School in Frisco, Texas.

 If you volunteer for virtual prelims, we ask that you keep your selections to a maximum of two so that everyone has a chance to participate. However, you are welcome to sign up to judge two pre-submitted categories AND serve on-site at our in-person regional finals on January 16, 2027. Due to scheduling conflicts, you can only judge one in-person event.  If you would like to judge more than two pre-submitted events, please talk with Julie or Matt for additional information.

Finally, if you are a member of an organization, church, neighborhood association, professionally-oriented friend group, or a business that promotes community involvement, PLEASE forward out to your colleagues. We’d love to share the work our kids are doing with as many people as possible.

 https://area1region3.bpa.org/judges/

Thanks again for your consideration and we look forward to working with you!

Matt MacVeigh, Julie Barker, and Kelly Munro

 P.S. For public school employees, we are offering to verify FIVE exchange hours per event judged!
