© Council for Wisconsin Writers 2015 Council for Wisconsin Writers Council for Wisconsin Writers Contest Judges Contest judges are selected for terms of no longer than two years. All judges are chosen from a pool of qualified writers and teachers who reside outside the state of Wisconsin. Judges are instructed not to consider entries from relatives, friends, and entrants with whom they have personal or professional relationships. Such entries will be disqualified. Since all of our contests require prior publication (with the exception  of the Student Essay Contest) CWW does not use blind judging. The Council for Wisconsin Writers supports the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) Contest Code of Ethics for our contests. See more. Click here for a PDF list of our judges.
