Students will give their speech twice and should plan to be available all day. The award ceremony is scheduled for 4pm following the conclusion of judging and tallying. A copy of the speech is required at check-in. Scoring places more emphasis on content than on theatrics. Props are allowed if portable and reasonable (no set up time). Students are encouraged to do their own research and writing.
