How do I become a NRHA Judge?
A prospective judge must complete and submit an application to the NRHA office no later than December 31. Applicants must provide one reference from a current NRHA Judge and one professional character reference. The NRHA Judges Committee will select no more than 30 applicants for the Judges Applicant Seminar held in the United States each year. International Applicant Seminars may be held in conjunction with NRHA Judges Schools. Upon successful completion of the Judges Applicant Seminar, the applicant will be eligible to attend an NRHA Judges School. Only after passing the testing requirements of an NRHA Judges School, will the prospective judges have their names submitted to the Board of Directors for consideration for final judging privileges.
