Awards
Students who receive overall ratings of Superior will receive awards, and the
student/group who received the highest overall rating points will receive a
special award.
Judges
High school students and adults will serve as judges. Please bring a judge for
every 10 entries you bring to the tournament. My high school team will serve
as a hired judging pool. If you use high school students, be sure they’re
ready to provide encouragement and constructive criticism. I hope the relaxed
schedule allows judges to give brief oral critiques especially in this festival
format, which focus is really about developing communication skills and
appreciation for speech.
Entries
Student may enter in up to 3 events.
Fees
Two dollars per student, not event. We’re trying to keep the meet fairly low
cost.
Concessions
We’re still investigating what we’re going to do for concessions the day. Once
decided, I will let you know.
Registration
Please e-mail me your entries, list of students and judges at
bmohr@gicentralcatholic.org by Tuesday March 6th, 2012 at 4:00 PM.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. My cell phone is 402-340-
3049.
We’re looking forward to having you and your students with us on the 9th of
March! Feel free to forward this invite to other people in your school who
might be interested i.e. middle school language arts teachers."
