Script Submission
Scripts are due by December 26, 2024 at midnight. Save some stress and submit before Christmas.
Please email scripts as PDFs to your Speech Coach or Club Leader. They will send your final PDF to the Tournament Director. This is a little different process than we usually do, but this way your coach can assist you with any edits.
