Stressless Script Submission Help
Stressless Script Submission is possible! Reviewers help you align your script with Stoa standards to promote competitive fairness across the league.
All types of scripts: Pre-screen your own speech anonymously in the Review Tool as many times as you want until it generates a “no obvious errors to fix” message. Some reports generate false errors. Don’t worry. Humans do the actual review using your event’s Rulebook.
Submitting a Platform Speech?
Please, pretty please, save yourself multiple resubmissions by auto-generating your citations for free with any of these listed below. All generated styles are Stoa-acceptable. “Freestyle” citations, however, are risky!

Submitting an Interpretive Speech?
Use Adobe Acrobat to digitally add highlights, text boxes, added words and arrows, for free. Scan your script at the lowest resolution possible, or compress your file. Double check that your highlights are still visible. These help you (and your reviewer) to more accurately run your script through the Review Tool. Tip: Most phones have free scanning apps!
Registering a Storytelling entry?
This event is script-free! In the Review Tool, click the Storytelling folder and follow the directions. Mind the prompt. And mind the deadline promptly.
