Local dignitaries, sponsors and young people are YOPEY's judges
Below you can read about some of our dignitary judges and our main sponsors for this YOPEY.
However these are not all the judges. Every YOPEY since 2006 has also been judged by young people or Youth Judges. Every Youth Judge's opinion and votes are as valid and worth as much as those of a dignitary or sponsor judge.
YOPEY's aim is to have as many Youth Judges on every YOPEY as dignitary and sponsor judges. If you are aged from 10-25 and would like to be a Youth Judge, pleas contact us via our Contact Us form, telling us a little bit about yourself and why you make a good Youth Judge.
