Each competitive and non-competitive team that performs in Challenges A – E plus projectOUTREACH® is responsible for providing an individual, who will be trained by Students for a Creative Iowa, to represent your team as a Challenge Appraiser at the Destination ImagiNation^® Tournaments in Iowa.  This ensures that all teams have an adequate number of well-trained Appraisers to watch, enjoy, and award points for team performances at each Tournament.

For your team to perform at the Sub-state and State Tournaments your trained Challenge Appraiser must appraise at both Tournaments.   Your trained Challenge Appraiser must have appraised at both the Sub-state and State Tournaments for your team to compete at the Destination ImagiNation^® Global Finals (if your team qualifies).  Your trained Challenge Appraiser will NOT be required to appraise at Global Finals.

Each Rising Stars!^® team will provide one volunteer to provide support at the Sub-state Tournament.

See Appraiser Information for additional details. Appraiser training dates are tentatively planned as follows:

• Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012 – Kirkwood Community College – Iowa City Campus
• Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012 – Kuemper Catholic High Schools – Carroll
• Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012 – Ames Middle School – Ames

All Rising Stars!® teams must provide one volunteer at the Sub-State Tournament who will serve in a non-scoring support capacity. Rising Stars!® volunteers are not required to attend training.

You must must enter contact information for your Appraiser (or Rising Stars!®) volunteer on the registration form. Not sure where to find Appraisers? Click on How to Find Appraisers for suggestions.
