My advice would be to contact the state chairman and let him know your available before each show months in advance. Pester him. Get to know your promotors. Not a bad gig because you get a free hotel and food. The best seat in the house and I've been paid as much as $150 for a show. My wife is a judge also and we cleared $300 for 1 show. Since me and the chairman came in together I get first dibs at most shows but we spread the wealth. I've judged 4 shows in my state in one year but that's a lot of traveling also.
