If you are a director or coach and you have students who plan to compete, please enter your team! All final entries should be in by Monday, Sept. 27 at 5pm. If you are from a school with an existing program, please “enter” all students, coaches, and spectators emailing Ryan at rsrigda@svsu.edu so he can add you to the tournament. You will need to include email addresses for all students, coaches, and spectators. Schools, judges and competitors must also register with Speechwire.com
GENERAL INFORMATION ENTRIES & JUDGES: Entries should be received by MONDAY, September 27 by 5:00 PM. Each school should provide one qualified judge for every 6 slots entered. If you have students in all four categories, then you should bring one clean judge for each 3 students. If you cannot get a clean judge, please let us know because we may be able to work something out! Each student may only compete in up to 3 events. If one doesn’t already exist, coaches will need to create a team account on Speechwire. Please email the organization name to Ryan @ rsrigda@svsu.edu after it is created. If you are joining via cellphone, participants may need to download zoom app before the tournament to ensure participation in the workshops. Clean judges should not have taught nor coached your students in any way. Additionally, clean judges must not have competed in the last 2 years. Please let us know of any other judging conflicts. Judges must possess a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent or have completed four (4) years of collegiate competition. Judges who cannot judge may be asked to help w/tab, Zoom, & more.
ELIGIBILITY: Anyone who is an undergraduate (has not received a BA or a BS degree) can compete. We are attempting to make this a ‘newer’ student tournament. So, while your students do not need to be novices, they should not be seasoned veterans who have mastered the event. However, if you have an interpretation student who hasn’t tried impromptu yet, have them try it here! If you have a second-year student or a varsity member who has never tried a limited prep event, then this may be the time! (This might include a student who has competed in an event and has not yet made it to a final round.) AWARDS: Certificates will be e-mailed to the top six persons in each event, and they will be announced at the conclusion of the event via e-mail.
EVENT DESCRIPTIONS IMPROMPTU - Each contestant will receive quotations, editorial cartoons or objects, and they will have seven minutes to divide between preparation and speaking. It is suggested that the contestant's speaking time be at least three minutes. Judges usually expect an introduction, body, and conclusion. INFORMATIVE - Each contestant will deliver an original, factual speech to fulfill the general purpose of informing the audience. Visuals may or may not be used to supplement and/or reinforce the message. The speech should be delivered from memory. For virtual informative, some limited screen-sharing might be appropriate?
