Events
Competitors who are entered in the following events must submit scripts for approval:
Interpretive Speeches: Dramatic, Duo, Humorous, Open
Platform Speeches: Expository, Original Oratory, Persuasive
Wild Card Speech: Slam Poetry
Before you begin:
Use the speech helps and resources to ensure your script is in compliance with regards to citations and publication requirements BEFORE submitting your script.
Watch the tutorial! Just 6 minutes will save you (and us) loads of time! While the video is somewhat out of date when referencing the Wild Card event, the basic principles and instructions still hold true.
Instructions will be posted prior to opening script submission.
