Will YAGP have independent oversight of judging?

Yes.

One of the key elements of the YAGP transparency initiative is independent professional review of judging-related processes.

The purpose is not simply to confirm that YAGP is right.

The purpose is to identify weaknesses, improve procedures, and make the system more reliable and transparent.

We believe that a strong organization should be willing to examine its own processes independently.
