Becoming a certified Judge is quite an achievement.
It is a mark of distinction in your local communities and a symbol of your dedication to making the gaming world a better place for all its members. At Judge Academy we want to give back to the our Judges that take on that responsibility. We’ve put together two initiatives to bring excitement and value to the lives of our members around the world!

Judge Academy is collaborating with a variety of publishers to give certified Judges the opportunity to get early access to upcoming releases, game testing, and other exclusives!
Not only is this a way for judges to get in on the action, but we welcome other publishers to contact us using the form here to tap into a worldwide network of motivated and experienced judges eager to jump into your products!

With more than 50 years of combined experience in the luggage category and a dash of Colorado’s famous pioneer spirit, our “founding five” embarked upon a fantastic voyage that would take them from a scrappy startup selling just seven luggage brands to the #1 online retailer for travel bags & accessories.
