Thomas S Foley TOC NITOC Bid Memorial Forensics Tournament
2021 — NSDA Campus, WA/US
Original Performance
Event Description:
Competitors in this event are to present material of their own creation. Poetry, prose, drama, humor, mystery, spoken word, or any other form of literature is acceptable so long as it is original work and is appropriate to present in a school environment.
The presentation must be between 5 and 10 minutes in length. There is no grace period. Students who fail to meet the minimum speaking requirement cannot take first place in the round. Students who exceed the maximum time limit should be cut off by the judge, and they additionally cannot take first place in the round. There is a one-step rule in this event, and students may present sitting or standing. The focus in this event is the presentation of original work, not the physical interpretation of literature. No props are allowed, though sitting on a chair or stool is permitted. Time signals will not be provided. (Open division only.)
