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.

Two dollars per student, not event. We’re trying to keep the meet fairly low
cost.
