How To Submit Scripts Electronically
1.
WHAT:
Each script submission should include the following pages:
-Signed script submission form for each speech event
-Typed copy of the speech script
-Works cited page (for Persuasive, and Expository)
-Highlighted photocopy of the original source text, including added words (for Duo Interp, Humorous Interp, Slam Poetry, and Open Interp)
HOW:
1. READ THE RULES for your speech event here
2. READ & OBTAIN SCRIPT SUBMISSION FORMS here
3. PREPARE your SCRIPT SUBMISSION FORM with your parent or coach. Include initials and signatures. Be sure "Countdown Challenge" is listed as the tournament.
4. COMBINE each speech into a single file in PDF or JPEG only. Scan into a single file. Please name files like this: Event-First Name Last Name (i.e. Persuasive-John Smith). Combine each speech into a single PDF file. See File Joiner resources below. If this step is an extra burden, it is OK to just send the needed files separately but in one email with each part of the submission having a file name in the format Last Name, First Name - Event Name - Name of part of Packet. For example, Smith, Joe - Duo Interp - Script Submission Form or Smith, Joe - Duo Interp - Typed Speech or Smith, Joe - Duo Interp - Original Text
