<h1>Attorney-Curated Judging<br>for O-1 <em>Talent.</em></h1>
<p class="sub">Evaluating the work of others in your field is one of the most valued — and most overlooked — O-1 evidence categories.</p>
<p class="body-lead">Being selected to judge means professionals and organizations in your field have recognized your expertise as sufficient to evaluate others' work. The roles that carry evidentiary weight are selective, field-relevant, properly documented, and clearly evaluative — not ceremonial or participation-based. Paprika identifies and coordinates judging opportunities that meet these standards.</p>
