All competitors with prepared speeches must complete the script submission process.
Script Submission Opens: Wednesday, Jan 14th at 8:00 am MST
Submission Deadline: Wednesday, January 21st at 8:00 pm MST
Approval Deadline: Friday, January 23rd at 8:00 pm MST
Students must submit all initial scripts by Wednesday, Jan 21st at 8:00 pm MST to avoid being dropped from an event and charged drop fees. Students must also have their script approved no later than Friday, Jan 23rd at 8:00pm MST to avoid being dropped from that event and charged drop fees.
***It is the responsibility of the student to ensure our script reviewers have enough time to complete their review. So if you feel that your script could need more than one review, or additional support in any way, it would be wise to submit earlier than later in this submission window.***
You will receive a confirmation email once your script has been received, and once it has been approved. Please save a copy of this confirmation email on your phone or print it out and have it with you at the tournament.
