CERT|Wharton EPIC will select judges with business and particularly entrepreneurial experience.  No judge will sit on more than one evaluation section. Hence, if a judge reviews plans in the initial submission, that judge will not review plans in the finals. CERT|Wharton EPIC believes that it is critical to ensure a fresh set of perspectives at each phase of the judging process. This policy is also essential in order to guard against any conflicts of interest that could emerge if judges had preexisting relationships with student participants.
