A Reminder About Anonymity for Conference Participants

The adjudication process is structured to ensure that the adjudicators do not know the names of the choreographers and their affiliated institutions presenting work in the adjudication concerts. This ACDFA policy allows the selection process to be as objective as possible. In order to keep the integrity of this policy and process intact through the adjudicators’ final decisions for the Gala Concert, it is necessary to ask all conference participants to avoid conversation with adjudicators about either the adjudicated dances, the adjudication process, or their comments during the feedback session. In addition, please do not discuss your school's programs or your own work(s) with the adjudicators.

We request your full cooperation for the enjoyment and respect of all conference participants, including the adjudicators.

Thank you,

Elizabeth Ahearn
Conference Coordinator
