Applications for 2026 Due April. 15th


The Maryland Dairy Goat Association offers one annual $850 stipend to either a first-time prospective ADGA judge or a current apprentice judge.  In return, if the selected individual becomes a licensed judge, they agree to judge two MDGA shows within the following two calendar years and waive their judging fee. In addition MDGA offers a $500 stipend to judges who are renewing their two or four year license. In return upon receiving their renewal the judge agrees to judge one MDGA show within the following year and waive their judging fee. Transportation and housing costs will be reimbursed by MDGA as itemized in an expense report. Applications for this stipend must be received by April 15th. All candidates will be notified on or before May 1st as to whether they have been selected to receive the stipend for that year. The total stipend amount of $850 or $500 will be awarded as a check made payable to the selected applicant after confirmation is received that the individual has completed and passed the Judges Training Program.
