Our office considers the following when composing the judging panel:

• Include three to five judges on your panel;
• Balance judging panel by age, gender, academic/professional positions, and discipline;
• Consider a marketing/communications member; and
• While judges should declare any conflict of interest, they should still judge each 3MT®presenter’s oration, even if the presenter is from their discipline.

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) judges are selected based upon a variety of factors. Past judges have included faculty members, university administrators, alumni, and notable members of the local community.
