including a video presentation to the judging platform. Judges will be emailed an agency specific link to access the judging platform to review assigned projects as determined by the SAA's Lead Judge. Because the Fair will be entirely online, judges will
be able to participate from anywhere with an internet connection. Judges will need access to a desktop or laptop computer; as, the website used to display the projects and collect scores is generally not compatible with smartphones or tablets. <b><i>The
