We are NOT requiring script submissions for Speak for Liberty.
We can hear your sigh of relief.
We know that the script submission process can be an arduous procedure for speakers. That said, we appreciate the purpose for script submissions, which is to create a credible and ethical script for fair competition. For a one day - three round - speech tournament, for those on the receiving end of electronic script submissions, the process to confirm that all submissions follow our Stoa guidelines is even more painstaking because of the number of scripts that are gathered.
So we're giving you a little liberty on the process.
And while script submission isn't a requirement for Speak for Liberty, we absolutely expect all speeches to abide by the Stoa criteria for each event.
Even though we aren't requiring a formal script submission, please have and bring hard copies of your script submission for each speech you are giving. The reason we ask this is if there is a question about the eligibility of a speech, there will be a clear way to determine a decision.
