Participants will be divided into 2 categories: 5 – 11 years (Category 1) and 11+ (Category 2)
Participants will be judged on content, speech delivery, and overall presentation. The decision of the judges will be final.
Speech can be in English, Hindi, or mix of both and should be about 3-5 minutes for Category 1 and 5-8 minutes for Category 2. Please ensure that the presentation meets these time restrictions, as participants will lose points for a presentation that is too short or too long.
One can use power points, videos etc as part of the speech/presentation. Whether memorized or not will not be a criteria in the judgement.
Participants are encouraged to prepare the speech on their own but can have it reviewed and corrected by others.
