Many past finalists and other members of the YOPEY Volunteer Board have now judged YOPEY contests. Their votes are just as important, and worth the same, as every VIP adult judge. If you have judged, we would like to hear what you think? How difficult was it? How much time did it take? If you're a past finalist, was it easier/harder, better/worse than taking part in an awards ceremony?

I won YOPEY beds 08. Since then I have judged at many places and other YOPEY contestants. Truthfully speaking it is very difficult to judge, especially when you have such fantastic final contestants with extraordinary stories, You cannot decide who to nominate, but I guess their can only be one winner (even though you are all winners).

One thing which I have realised is that some judging can be easy than others for e.g I am juding yopey beds 09 which is this Sunday coming! And I felt when I was judging the contestants it was clear and easy for me to see who will give back to the community and has a strong story. Overall it is a nice feeling and I am honoured to be part of YOPEY.

Thanks Tony :)
