Judging A minimum of three judges is recommended for the local competition. Selection of the judges is the sole responsibility of the local director or sponsoring organization. Judging is based on the following criteria: the person selected should be intelligent, articulate, photogenic, aggressive without being forward or self- centered, dignified and attractive; have a friendly spirit that is natural and spontaneous; be in good health; be gracious and sincere; and possess a general knowledge of state tourist attractions, history and economy.
