Call for Volunteer Evaluators

IOCD invites volunteers from around the world to assist in the evaluation of the entries for the 2026 competition on the theme “To be announced”. Each evaluator will be asked to provide preliminary assessment of not more than 20 essays in the period 1–30 April, from which essays will be selected as potential Finalists and Regional Winners.

Could you please help us by:

(a) Indicating whether you are personally willing to be an evaluator for this year’s essay competition;

(b) Suggesting others whom we can approach to invite as evaluators.
