ORAL PRESENTATION
Based on the highest written report scores, a maximum of five (5) chapters will be selected to make oral presentations at the State Leadership Conference.
Chapters failing to report on time for their oral presentation may be disqualified. Participants in the oral presentation component must adhere to the dress code established by the board of directors, or they will not be permitted to participate in the competitive event.
Competitors are responsible for bringing their own device for this event and must be able to show their presentation to the judges on this device as there will be no use of projectors.
Up to three (3) members from each local chapter selected for the finals will give an oral presentation at the State Leadership Conference. Seven (7) minutes will be allowed for the oral presentation, which will describe the project and the results obtained. All team members are expected to actively participate in the performance.
Visual aids and samples specifically related to the project may be used; however, all equipment used for the presentation must be provided by the chapter. No items may be left after the presentation with either the judges or the audience.
A timekeeper will stand at six (6) minutes and again at seven (7) minutes. The timekeeper will stop the participants from continuing once their allotted time has elapsed.
Following each presentation, the judges may conduct a three-minute (3) question-and-answer period. The performance is open to conference attendees, except performing participants of this event.
JUDGING
Reports will be reviewed by a screening committee to determine if chapters have complied with event eligibility and regulations. A panel of judges will select the finalists before the State Leadership Conference. A separate panel of judges will evaluate the oral presentations. Final rank is determined by totaling the written report scores and the oral presentation scores. All decisions of the judges are final.
AWARDS
State: State awards for the top five places are presented at the State Leadership Conference.
