Writers
Without writers and other volunteers, competitions simply could not take place. Writers play an important role where they sit alongside our judges to record scores and observations.
Voiced over by BD Listed Judges, the videos below can be used to get an understanding of how writing at a competition works and can be used to practice ahead of arriving at the venue. Simply watch and listen, or ‘have a go’ and write along to the audio:
