It is not easy to judge. It is tiring. I am always invited to judge school to school and even in a municipality. Do not refuse if received a letter to judge. a contest.
Seriously, there's even lots of risks that's associated with that kind of job because some of them get death threats.

That is not like judge in courts of law but judge in a contest like debate, oratorical contest, impromptu speaking, dtum6znd buggle and more. It's peaceful.

I believe there are various factors to consider when it comes to this aspect. It depends on the budget at hand and the level of the competition it self .

This might be a good job but there's lots of risks that's associated with the job but the pay depends on the budget at hand and how much the organisers are willing to pay

I do think so. They are experts in their fields to be judges in competitions. They are not going to waste their time for nothing.
It's tiresome to judge you have to be fair and square or else people quarrel you. Three hours judging is something, it's a contest participated and attended no ordinary people. Judges must be quake.

No matter how you look at it, it is a very soft work. You are provided with juice an bottle water. Contestants entertain you and you give your comments. At the end of the day, you get paid.

You're so right, but during pandemic and lockdowns happened no more contests and no more invitations to judge hehe. For schools mostly online and offices WFH. It seems life is never the same again.

I agree with you. For me, I do not want to be one of the judges of the competition. I do not want to feel exhausted for doing so. I just prefer to watch only.

Being a judge in a contest is not a job, it is a side hustle. And those judges get paid well. It is an offshoot of their main jobs.

I am no longer invited to judge starting the pandemic when classes are done online and employees work at home too. One time, I was invited to judge online bu I refused because my laptop at that time was under repair, so the zoom link will not operate.

Judges are well paid and the host also receives a budget from the sponsors or program organizers. The judges' fees are concerted money from the sponsors.

I was invited to be the judge in a fashion design contest. The company I worked for was also the sponsor of the event. I was not paid as being a judge. But our company got publicity through press coverage of the event.

Judging a contest is not a job. It is just some publicity boost that helps people whose business or job requires publicity for the cash to keep rolling in. Some people would offer to be judges for free on x factor. They just want to have that publicity. The publicity alone can make them loads of money subsequently.
